Ripple Resumes Fresh Downtrend, May Retest $0.21 Low

The upward move on December 24 was short-lived as Ripple faced another rejection. If buyers have pushed XRP above $0.50, the upside momentum would have resumed.

Rather, the price correction was interrupted at the $0.35 high. Today, Ripple is trading at $0.296 at the time of writing. If the planned downtrend resumes, the crypto will further decline to $0.15 low. Meanwhile, if Ripple falls and finds support above $0.20 or $0.25, the upward move will resume. Technically, if price retraces and holds above the previous support at $0.21, it is more convincing to move upward. On the other hand, if price breaks the previous support, the downward move will be accelerated. 

Key Resistance Zones: $0.80, $0.85, $0.90

Key Support Zones: $0.40, $0.35, $0.30
