XRP bulls to defend $0.60 level at all costs ahead of Ripple Swell 2023
- Ripple price is holding above the $0.66 support level despite XRP trading in overbought territory.
- The $0.60 level remains critical for the remittance token since every day in November has closed above this level after closing out October there.
- XRP could still realize 15% growth as token holders keep their selling appetite in check ahead of key community event.
- Invalidation of the bullish thesis will occur once the payments token closes below the $0.53 support level.
Ripple (XRP) price remains bullish after a solid breakout beginning on October 18, when the rally in the broader market kick-started a strong move north. The payments token managed to break past the $0.60 barrier on November 1, steered by buying pressure from retail traders, and will not relent as a key community event is due.

Ripple Swell 2023 preview
Ripple Swell 2023 is due to start on November 8, a two-day event that will end on November 9. The venue is Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai. While registration is already closed, early sign ups consist of leading industry innovators coming together to discuss topics that are most important to the contemporary finance industry.

The meeting will also investigate the impact of regulatory frameworks for digital assets, with a view toward understanding how to meet users at the point where blockchain and cryptocurrency technology intersect. Topics will also include integrating crypto with traditional markets for globally sustainable solutions.
With XRP at the center of payments and digital currencies, and the fact that it is arguably the one altcoin whose regulatory position is defined, it is bound to be a key subject.

Ripple price outlook as XRP holders defend $0.60
Ripple (XRP) price is $0.67 at the time of writing, holding above the $0.66 support level. Downward support remains robust for XRP, however, with the Parabolic SAR indicator trailing the price from below at $0.61. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) indicator is also in positive territory, flashing soaked histogram bars to show bulls maintain a strong presence in the Ripple market.
Further, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows XRP is overbought but not ripe for selling. Its position above 70 but reluctance to cross below this level should be interpreted as a cautionary signal that traders should not close their current positions as the upside potential remains plausible for the payments token.
If sidelined investors come in, Ripple price could move further north, restoring price action above the $0.69 resistance level. Flipping this supplier congestion level into a support floor would clear the path for an extension to the supply zone extending from $0.77 to $0.81. A break and close above its midline at $0.79 would confirm the continuation of the trend.
The next move for Ripple price if the aforementioned condition is met will be to flip the supply barrier into a bullish breaker. From there, bulls could leverage the ensuing optimism to collect sell-side liquidity and foray past the $0.90 psychological level. The target objective for them would be the $0.93 range high. Such a move would constitute a 40% climb above current levels.
Conservative perpetual traders opening longs for XRP may consider placing their take profit anywhere below the midline of the supply zone at $0.79.

On the other hand, if selling pressure overpowers buying momentum, Ripple price could extend the slump, decisively closing below the $0.66 support. In a more dire case, the slump could extend past the Parabolic SAR, potentially flipping the $0.60 level into resistance and clearing the clog for a spiral south.
A break and close below the $0.53 support level would invalidate the bullish thesis, plunging Ripple price back into the multi-month consolidation phase. This would denote a 20% drop below current levels.
