Ripple showcased a decent price action above $0.60 in value against the USD. XRP prices retested the resistance zone at $0.62 to $0.625 yesterday. However, XRP closed the trading day without showing an upward trend above $0.625 as the price settled at $0.6201 against the USD. The price corrected later on but in this case, the correction was downward, and XRP traded below the value of $0.6150 level. It continued a steady decline to a new retracement level at $0.5815 low and $0.6201.

On the downside, the XRP/USD pair had a number of support levels above the $0.60 level. Afterward, XRP had a short-term bullish trend line connecting the $0.60 support level to a new support level at $0.6060 on the hourly chart against the USD. Below the trend line, the retracement level of the $0.5815 low to $0.6201 low positioned near the level $0.6008 to prevent losses. Below $0.6000, XRP buyers appear again at the next primary buy zone near $0.5850. If the XRP prices manage to remain above the levels of $0.6000 and $0.5850 support levels, the prices will continue to form an upward trend on the charts as XRP gains momentum to new support levels of $0.6200.

The charts show that the XRP price remains well supported just above $0.5850 support levels. This statistics presents a number of possible downsides as the XRP price could face another correction in the near term, even though the charts currently indicate that in the event of a downward correction, the levels $0.6000 and $0.5850 are likely to hold. On the upside, XRP prices have to move above the support level of $0.6250 to accelerate the gains for XRP towards $0.6600.
