After a wave of recovery, Ripple’s XRP struggled to overcome the $0.6650 resistance level against the US dollar. A high formed at $0.6654 before the price started to fall again, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The price moved below the pivot level of $0.650 and fell below the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward movement from the swing low of $0.5926 to the high of $0.6654. The price even fell below the support zone of $0.635.

A successful breakthrough above the $0.6650 resistance level could push the price towards the $0.70 resistance level. Further gains could require a test of the $0.720 resistance level.
However, if Ripple fails to overcome the $0.650 resistance zone, there could be further declines. The first support below is near the $0.620 zone and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward movement from the swing low of $0.5926 to the high of $0.6654.
The next major support is near $0.60. If there is a breakthrough below and a closing price below the $0.60 mark, the XRP price could extend its losses. In that case, the price could retest the support zone of $0.585.
