An initial resistance is near $0.2960 and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.3058 high to $0.2923 low. However, the main resistance is near the $0.3000 level and the 25 simple moving average (30-minute).
Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.3058 high to $0.2923 low is near the $0.2990 level. Therefore, if the price corrects higher, the $0.2990 and $0.3000 levels are likely to prevent gains in the near term.
On the downside, an initial support is near the $0.2920 low, below which there is a risk of a break below the $0.2900 level. The next key supports are at $0.2880 and $0.2860. Overall, ripple price is clearly trading in a downtrend below $0.3000 and $0.3050, with bearish moves. Therefore, there could be more losses below $0.2920 and $0.2900.
