Additionally, sellers pushed the price below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $0.6529 low to $0.9642 high. It even traded below $0.8000 and 100 simple moving average (2-hours). These all are negative signs and it could increase bearish pressure on XRP.

At the moment, the price is holding the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $0.6529 low to $0.9642 high at $0.7650. If there is a downside break below $0.7650, it could open the doors for a push towards the last swing low of $0.7000.

Below the mentioned $0.7000 support, the price may perhaps test the $0.6500 support zone. On the other hand, if the price starts an upside move, it may find sellers near the $0.8200 level and the 100 SMA.

A close above $0.8200 and 100 SMA will most likely push the price back on a bullish path. The next stop for XRP buyers in the mentioned case could be $0.9000 and $0.9200 in the near term.
