What to expect from the XRP price?

XRPLedger’s native token XRP is currently trading sideways after a long-term downtrend. XRP bulls consider the November 2022 level of $0.41 key for the altcoin and the bulls could push the asset to its target, once it begins recovery. 

XRP has traded sideways in a support zone from $0.37 to $0.41. A close above this level could affirm the bullish thesis and push XRP closer to its resistance at 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement at $0.42, $0.43, and the 78.6% Fibonacci Retracement at $0.46. 

XRP/USDT 12H price chart 

As seen in the chart above, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is close to the oversold region. RSI currently reads 36.12. There is no clear bullish/ bearish divergence in RSI. 

XRP’s bullish thesis would be invalidated if the asset nosedives to the 23.6% Fibonacci Retracement level at $0.34.
