Here are possible scenarios
A plausible scenario would be for XRP to maintain its recovery and retest the $0.85 level. With a decisive close over $0.85, XRP might retest the $1 barrier level and gain roughly 30% from current levels.Another possibility is range trading, with XRP forming a range in the near term. The range's boundaries may be $0.66 on the downside and $0.86 on the upside. The first indicator of strength in this situation will be a break and close over the overhead barrier of $0.85.
XRP, on the other hand, may fall further if the $0.66 support level is breached. This might lead to more selling, and XRP could approach the MA 50 support at $0.56.
