Ripple technical picture
From the technical perspective, XRP/USD is rangebound with $0.5600 (which is 78.6% Fibo retracement level) creating a strong resistance, while the recent low at $0.5020 serves as a floor. A clear breakthrough in either direction will trigger a strong movement with the next strong obstacle located at $0.6470 (61.8% Fibo) followed by $0.6550, which is created by 50-DMA. On the downside, the ultimate bearish target at $0.4500, this is the lowest level of 2018, reached in April.
