Ripple’s XRP has been rangebound above $0.40 handle. The third largest coin with the current market capitalization of $17 billion has hardly changed since this time on Wednesday amid subdued trading activity after a sharp sell-off at the beginning of the week. XRP’s average daily trading volume is registered at $1.7 billion; the coin is most actively traded against USDT.

The major hurdle awaits XRP’s bulls on approach to $0.42. This resistance is created by a confluence of Tuesday’s recovery high and SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) on the 1-hour timeframe. A sustainable move above this handle will improve the technical picture and open up the way towards $0.4300 with 23.6% Fibo retracement and SMA200 1-hour located on approach.
On the downside, the initial support is created by psychological $0.40. It is followed by the recent low of $0.3839. Once it is out of the way, the sell-off may continue towards $0.3756m, which is the lowest level since May 26. This support area is strengthened by a confluence of 50% Fibo retracement and SMA200 4-hour.
