- Further upside may be limited for now.
Ripple’s XRP is hovering at $0.35000, off the intraday high reached at $0.3734. The third largest coin with the current market value of $14.6B is moving in sync with the market. XRP/USD has gained about 6% since this time on Tuesday, though the price has barely changed if compared to the level registered at the beginning of the Asian trading.

The Relative Strength Index on 1-hour chart returned to the neutral territory, which might signal that the correction phase is drawing to an end.

The next support comes at $0.3220-$3200 (SMA100 1-hour), while an ultimate line in the send for the bears lies with $0.3000.
On the upside, we need to see a strong move above $0.3580-$0.3600 congestion zone for the upside momentum to gain traction and take the coin towards DMA200 and $0.3786 and psychological $0.3800.
From the longer-term point of view, the bulls aim at $0.4000 and $0.4333 created by weekly SMA50.
