XRP’s technical picture
XRP/USD hit $0.4046 high on Monday among the global recovery on the cryptocurrency market. However, the gains proved to be unsustainable as the coin dropped below $0.40 handle to trade at $0.3945 at the time of writing. XRP has gained over 2.5% in recent 24 hours and lost 1.7% since the beginning of Tuesday trading.
On the intraday charts, the recovery is capped by the psychological $0.4000, strengthened by 38.2% Fibo retracement for the upside move from April 25 low. Once it is cleared, the recovery will gain traction with the next focus on $0.41 with SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) 4-hour located on approach. This barrier is followed by $0.4185 (SMA100 4-hour), and $0.4270 (23.6% Fibo retracement).
On the downside, the coin is supported by 61.8% Fibo retracement at $0.3778. A sustainable move below this handle will open up the way towards the next bearish aim of $0.3700 (Sunday’s low).
