The 61.8% Fibonacci level held up quite well to propel a strong reversal in favor of the bears. As a result, XRP’s previous up-channel breakdown transposed into a down-channel (yellow) trajectory in the past week.
Meanwhile, the buyers found a close above the basis line of the Bollinger Bands (BB) while inflicting a breakout of the down-channel. But the 23.6% Fibonacci level has suppressed the recent buying pressure.
A close above or below the basis line of BB would be critical to determine the upcoming moves. At press time, XRP traded at $0.3155.

Over the last day, the altcoin rebounded from the 16-month support near the $0.3-mark. But the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance eased the breakout push above the down-channel.
With the 50 EMA (cyan) posing recovery hurdles, the recent pullback could aid the sellers in retesting the upper trendline of the down-channel. In this case, XRP could eye to bounce back from the $0.31 zone in the coming sessions.
