The next key resistance could be $0.550. A clear move above the $0.550 resistance might send the price toward the $0.5550 resistance. The next major resistance is near the $0.5680 level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.580 resistance or even $0.5880 in the near term. 
<h2 id="another-decline">Another Decline?</h2> 
If XRP fails to clear the $0.5120 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.4880 level. The next major support is at $0.4750. 
If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.4750 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $0.4500 support in the near term. The next major support sits at $0.4320.
