Key Support Levels: $0.22, $0.2, $0.171.
Key Resistance Levels: $0.25, $0.285, $0.3..
After a disastrous end to 2020, in which XRP tanked by a severe 75%, following the SEC lawsuit, the coin attempts to establish a strong support base at $0.22 (November 2020 lows). So far, it has closed each daily candle above this level in January.
The cryptocurrency did spike beneath $0.2 on three occasions this month, but the bulls regrouped to bring XRP above $0.22 by the end of each day.
XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction
Looking ahead, if the buyers continue to drive higher, the first level of resistance lies at $0.25. This is followed by $0.285 (bearish .236 Fib), $0.3, and $0.325 (200-days EMA).
On the other side, the first level of support lies at $0.22 (November 2020 low). This is followed by $0.2, $0.171 (July 2020 low), and $0.15.
The RSI bounced from extremely oversold conditions at the end of December and is slowly starting to grind higher, suggesting the bearish momentum is easing up.
