XRP Technical Indicators
Avoiding the pivot at $0.3460 would bolster upswings toward the initial resistance at $0.3605. Broader market sentiment remained crucial for XRP to surge past Saturday’s $0.3560 highs. A stretched upside can see the alt exploring the second massive resistance near $0.3706. Ripple will encounter another hurdle at $0.3952.
Meanwhile, declines from the pivot would see the token at the initial support of $0.3359. excluding extended declines, XRP should prevent drops to the second foothold at $0.3214, with $0.33 expected to limit downsides. Nevertheless, the 3rd crucial support stands at $0.2968.
