This Morning

In spite of the choppy day, Ripple’s XRP left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.

For the Rest of the Day

Ripple’s XRP would need to steer clear of sub-$0.2980 levels to support upward momentum through the day.

A move through the morning high $0.30397 would bring the first major resistance level at $0.3146 into play.

Ripple’s XRP would need the support of the broader market, however, to break back through to $0.30 levels.

In the event of an extended crypto rally through the day, Tuesday’s high $0.31878 would likely limit any upside on the day.

Failure to steer clear of sub-$0.2980 levels could see Ripple’s XRP slide through the morning low $0.2916 to sub-$0.29 levels.

Barring a broad-based crypto sell-off, Ripple’s XRP should steer well clear of the first major support level at $0.2783. In the event of another crypto meltdown, a fall through to Tuesday’s low $0.2825 would bring sub-$0.28 levels into play.
