However, slightly on the upside, the token is struggling to push through resistance highlighted by the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. Two key moves would decide where XRP heads to this week.
With a break above the immediate resistance at $0.6256, traders would find the token attractive, especially for scalping opportunities. This buying pressure from traders and investors will likely propel XRP above the next key hurdle at $0.7.

The seller congestion of $0.7 could be the biggest stumbling block in the search for gains above $1 as it brings together a multi-month falling trendline since July and the 50% Fibonacci level.
On the other side of the fence, failure to rise above resistance/support at the 38.2% Fibo could end in consolidation or another dip if support at the 50-day EMA (red) bows to selling pressure.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) already shows sellers having more control at the moment and its continued movement beneath the midline at 50 could lead to more losses.
