However, the broken trend line is currently acting as a support near the $0.4490 level. If buyers fail to keep the price above the $0.4490 and $0.4480 support levels, there could be a fresh retest of the $0.4340 support.
On the other hand, if the price bounces back, it could climb above the $0.4580 and $0.4600 resistance levels. The most important resistance on the upside is at $0.4735, above which the price may rise to $0.5000.
Overall, ripple price is placed nicely above the $0.4480 and $0.4490 support levels. Therefore, there are high chances of a fresh upward move above the $0.4550 and $0.4580 levels in the near future.
