It seems like there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near $0.2880 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On the upside, the price is facing a major resistance near the $0.2960 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3083 high to $0.2805 low.

A clear break above the $0.2960 resistance level might clear the path for more upsides above $0.3000. A successful close above $0.3000 could lead the price towards the $0.3080 and $0.3120 levels.
