Although the significant sell-off on August 17th breached the $0.564 support, the daily chart indicated that by the close of the day, more than half of the intraday loss had been regained. A long-wick rejection attached to the daily candle reflects the accumulation of buyers at a discounted price.

This rejection sign came at the combined support ascending support trendline aligned and $0.5 psychological level, offering buyers a suitable footing to turn the price higher. With an intraday of 4.67%, the XRP price currently trades at $0.54 and is likely to retest the $0.564 resistance. 

For the XRP coin to undermine the prior breakdown, the buyers need to break above the August 17th high of $0.5948. This breakdown will break the seller’s weapon and bolster buyers for recovery to $0.667, followed by $0.854, and $0.933.
