Ripple Price Could Extend Losses
In the past 3-4 sessions, ripple faced an increase in selling pressure below $0.3200. As a result, XRP declined heavily below the $0.3050 and $0.3000 support levels.

Ripple Price
The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent dive from the $0.3194 high to $0.2677 low is also acting as a hurdle for the bulls. Therefore, the bulls need to gain pace above the $0.2950 and $0.3000 resistance levels to push the price back into a positive zone.
If the bulls fail to gain strength above $0.2950, there is a risk of more losses. The first key support is near the $0.2800 level. If there is a clear break below $0.2800 and $0.2780, the bears are likely to aim a new weekly low below $0.2670.
Fresh Increase?
As mentioned, the bulls need to gain pace above the $0.2950 and $0.3000 resistance levels. If they succeed and ripple settles above $0.3000, there could be a fresh increase.
The next key resistance is near the $0.3200 area and the 100 hourly simple moving average, above which the price could revisit the $0.3400 resistance area.
