Ripple price confluence levels
The confluence tool clearly shows XRP having advanced higher above the key resistance zones (most of which have transformed into formidable support zones). The initial hurdle is seen at $0.3182 highlighted by the Bollinger Band 4-hour upper curve. If XRP is able to relaunch the attack on higher levels, then bulls must then prepare to deal with a higher congestion of sellers at $0.3281 and $0.3380.
