Ripple price is following a nice uptrend against the US Dollar and bitcoin. XRP price is likely to continue higher towards $0.3120 if it breaks $0.3040.

Yesterday, we discussed the chances of a fresh increase in ripple above $0.2950 against the US Dollar. XRP price remained well bid above the $0.2850 and $0.2880 support levels.

As a result, there was a fresh increase above the $0.2920 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Moreover, the price broke the key $0.2950 resistance level to set the pace for more upsides.

During the rise, yesterday’s highlighted key bearish trend line was breached with resistance near $0.2940 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair is up more than 3% today and it even spiked above the $0.3000 resistance area.

However, ripple is once again facing hurdles near the $0.3030 and $0.3040 levels. At the moment, the price is correcting lower below $0.3000. It is testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $0.2890 low to $0.3031 high.

On the downside, there are many supports near the $0.2960 and $0.2940 levels. More importantly, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $0.2890 low to $0.3031 high is near the $0.2960 level to provide a strong support.

If there are additional losses, the next key support is near the broken trend line, $0.2920, and the 100 hourly SMA. A successful close below $0.2920 could push the price back towards the $0.2850 support.

On the upside, there are key hurdles near the $0.3030 and $0.3040 levels. Should the bulls gain traction above the $0.3040 level, the price is likely to accelerate higher. The next major hurdle for them is near the $0.3120 level.
