Initial resistance on the upside is near the $0.5250 zone. The first major resistance is near the $0.532 level. A successful break above the $0.532 resistance level could send the price towards the $0.550 resistance. Any further gains may require a test of the $0.565 resistance.

If Ripple fails to clear the $0.525 resistance zone, it could trigger a downside correction. The first support on the downside is near the $0.505 zone and the trendline.
The next major support is near $0.500. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.50 level, the price of XRP could add to losses.
