It opened the gates for more losses and the price traded below the $0.4050 support. During the slide, there was a break below a contracting triangle support at $0.4230 on the 2-hours chart. A new monthly low was established at $0.4010 before the price started an upward move.

XRP is currently correcting higher and is trading near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the $0.4451 high to $0.4010 low.

At the outset, it seems like the price may correct further above the $0.4120 level in the near term. However, there is a significant resistance waiting near the $0.4231 and $0.4260 levels. The 50% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the $0.4451 high to $0.4010 low is at $0.4231 to act as a strong barrier for buyers.

Moreover, the triangle upper trend line is positioned near $0.4260 to prevent a bullish break. Therefore, short-term recoveries in ripple price are likely to be capped around $0.4231-0.4260. Above this, the price will most likely recover past $0.4500.

On the downside, an immediate support is at $0.4050, below which, the price could break the $0.4000 support for extended losses in the near term.
