After a steady increase, XRP price faced resistance near the $0.520 zone. Recently, there was a minor downside correction like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $0.5180 level.

There was a move below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $0.4980 swing low to the $0.5225 high. However, the bulls are active near the $0.5140 zone. The price is still trading above $0.510 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

A close above the $0.520 resistance zone could send the price higher. The next key resistance is near $0.5220. If the bulls push the price above the $0.5220 resistance level, there could be a fresh move toward the $0.5350 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.550 resistance.

If XRP fails to clear the $0.520 resistance zone, it could slowly move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.5150 level. The next major support is at $0.5120.

The main support is now near $0.510 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $0.4980 swing low to the $0.5225 high. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.510 level, the price might accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price could drop and test the $0.4980 support in the near term.
