Technical analysis: XRP loses key psychological support

Ripple price is currently in an upward trend that started on July 8. The altcoin trades at $0.5963, after Ripple lost psychological support at $0.60. XRP could pullback to the 50% Fibonacci level of the decline from the March 11 top of $0.7440 and the July 5 low of $0.3423, at $0.5632.

XRP could find support in the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $0.5404 and $0.5783, as seen in the XRP/USDT daily chart.

XRP could sweep liquidity at $0.5632 and attempt a comeback above psychological support at $0.60, to thenrally to $0.6666, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level.

A daily candlestick close above $0.60 could invalidate the bearish thesis.
