If there is a clear break above the $0.2450 resistance, there could be a sharp upward move. The next major resistance is near the $0.2550 and $0.2570 levels

Any further gains could lead the price towards the $0.2670 resistance level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3043 high to $0.2297 low.

Fake Breakout in XRP?

If ripple fails to clear the $0.2450 and $0.2480 resistance levels, there is a risk of a fresh decline. An initial support is near the broken trend line and $0.2350.

The main support is near the $0.2300 and $0.2305 levels, below which the price could invalidate the recent breakout pattern. In the stated case, the bears are likely to aim a drop towards the $0.2200 support.
