Ripple’s XRP Price is Showing Positive Signs

The triangle resistance is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3302 high to $0.2811 low. A successful break above the triangle resistance may possibly call for a break above the $0.3100 resistance.
A successful close above $0.3000 and $0.3100 could open the doors for a steady increase. The next hurdle could be $0.3300, above which the price could test $0.3500.
Fresh Dip in XRP?
If ripple fails to break the $0.3000 and $0.3100 resistance levels, it could correct lower. The first major support is near the $0.2880 zone and the 100 SMA (H4).
A downside break below the triangle trend line, $0.2850, and the 100 SMA (H4) could accelerate losses. In the stated case, the price could decline sharply towards the $0.2600 support zone in the near term.
