XRP/USD 1-hour chart

On the upside, the local resistance coincides SMA50 daily and the intraday high at $0.2052. Notably, it is the highest level since the massive sell-off  on March 12. Once it is passed, the upside momentum will increase with the next focus on $0.2200 (SMA100 daily) and $0.2360 (SMA200 daily). A sustainablle move above $0.2300 will mean that XRP has recovered 50% of the decline from 2020 high.
