A close above the $0.6080 resistance zone could spark a strong increase. The next key resistance is near $0.640. If the bulls remain in action above the $0.640 resistance level, there could be a rally toward the $0.670 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.700 resistance.
Another Drop?
If XRP fails to clear the $0.608 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.550 zone.
The next major support is at $0.520. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.520 level, XRP price might accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price could retest the $0.500 support zone.
