XRP Price Consolidates Above Key Support

XRP price made a couple of attempts to gain strength above $0.6120 and $0.6150. However, the bulls failed to gain strength for a close above $0.6150. There was a bearish reaction, and the price retested the $0.5950 support.

A low is formed at $0.5957 and the price is now consolidating, like Ethereum. There is also a major bullish trend line forming with support at $0.5945 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair is now trading below $0.6120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

If there is a fresh increase, the price could face resistance near the $0.6025 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.6091 swing high to the $0.5957 low.

The first major resistance is near the $0.6060 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.6091 swing high to the $0.5957 low. The next key resistance could be $0.6120. A clear move above the $0.6120 resistance might send the price toward the $0.6150 resistance.

The next major resistance is near the $0.6200 level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.6350 resistance in the near term.
