Ripple's technical picture
On the intraday charts, XRP/USD is supported by a confluence of SMA100 (Simple Moving Average) 1-hour and the lower line of 1-hour Bollinger Band at $0.3130. A sustainable move below this area will bring psychological $0.3100 into focus where new short-term buyers are expected to join the market. Moreover, $0.3100 is an upper boundary of the previous consolidation channel, which means the bears might have a hard time pushing the price lower.
The next support awaits us on approach to $0.3040 (the lower line of 4-hour Bollinger Band) and a critical $0.30.
On the upside, we will need to see a sustainable move above $0.32 for the bullish momentum to gain traction. This will open up the way towards $0.34, the highest level since July 20.
