XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction
Looking ahead, the first level of resistance lies at the descending trend line, around $0.47. This is followed by $0.5, $0.556 (2019 Highs), $0.571 (1.272 Fib Extension), and $0.609 (1.414 Fib Extension).
On the other side, the first support lies at $0.434 (.236 Fib). This is followed by $0.4, $0.365 (.5 Fib), and $0.35 (100-days EMA). Added support lies at $0.32 (200-days EMA) and $0.3.
