Looking ahead, if the sellers break push beneath $0.6, the first level of support lies at $0.55 (2019 Highs). This is followed by $0.5 (.5 Fib), $0.345 (.618 Fib), and $0.4.

On the other side, resistance is expected at $0.65, $0.68, $0.718 (bearish .886 Fib), and $0.75.

The 4HR RSI dipped beneath the mid-line today as the sellers started to take charge of the market momentum. If it continues to drop, XRP can be expected to head lower.
