Ripple Price Technical Analysis – XRP/USD Moving Higher 114

Key Highlights

  • Ripple price is slowly moving higher and is currently well above the 0.2040 support against the US Dollar.
  • Yesterday’s highlighted contracting triangle with current support at $0.2060 is still in place on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
  • The price might soon break the resistance at $0.2120 for more gains in the near term.

Ripple price is slowly gaining bullish pace against the US Dollar and Bitcoin. XRP/USD has to surpass the $0.2120 level for more upsides.

Ripple Price Resistance

There was a slow and steady upside move initiated from the $0.1900 low in Ripple price against the US Dollar. The price was successful in moving above the $0.2000 handle and the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 0.2215 high to $0.1900 low. The upside move was positive as the price was able to move above the $0.2040 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Moreover, yesterday’s highlighted contracting triangle with current support at $0.2060 is still in place on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. As long as the pair is above $0.2060 and $0.2040, there is a chance of it gaining bids for the next leg. On the upside, the pair needs to settle above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 0.2215 high to $0.1900 low.

Once the pair is above $0.2120, it could easily move towards the last swing high of $0.2220. On the downside, the mentioned $0.2040 level is a major support near the 100 hourly SMA. Should there be a break below $0.2040, there can be a downside reaction toward the $0.2000 handle.

Looking at the technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is currently attempting to move back in the bullish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is moving down from the 60 level toward 50.

Major Support Level – $0.2040

Major Resistance Level – $0.2120

Cost-effective transactions on ZkSync: introducing FileMarket “Flames” 5632

The Bitcoin whitepaper recently celebrated its 15th anniversary, and it poses an interesting question: What can you legally purchase with cryptocurrency since its inception? The most typical acquisitions include investment products, decentralized finance services, and various crypto assets. However, there’s a growing recognition for Real World Assets like real estate, commodities, art, and even US Treasuries—tangible assets that exist physically. Despite this, digital goods in the realm of Web 3.0 are often overlooked, with few platforms dedicated to this emerging market.

The mantra of digital ownership: Not your key, not your data

Enter FileMarket, a peer-to-peer platform designed for the trade of digital goods within Web 3.0. It aims to be a decentralized alternative to platforms like Gumroad, addressing the pain points of high fees, geolocation-based restrictions, censorship, and privacy concerns that both sellers and buyers frequently endure.

FileMarket is pioneering new methods for trading digital content within Web 3.0. It enables users to monetize their valuable creations—be they books, templates, checklists, educational courses, code, 3D models, music samples, or fitness guides. This is all facilitated by the Encrypted File Token (EFT) protocol, an innovative on-chain solution for unlockable content management—effectively ending the era of “right-click-save” NFTs. It leverages perpetual storage solutions like Filecoin and IPFS, turning your crypto wallet into a ‘My Documents’ folder. Tokenizing files paves the way for immediate market access to EFTs and adds extra value by establishing new rules for the digital economy.

Bridging the gap: File tokenization and Web3 enthusiasts

The significance of file tokenization might not be immediately apparent to the average Web3 enthusiast. Nevertheless, it is clear that early adopters are eager to capitalize on incentives from tier 1 projects like ZkSync. To harmonize these interests, FileMarket introduces on-chain Flames (Likes) — a feature that benefits everyone. The lower transaction costs will appeal to retro drop enthusiasts and highlight the importance of this new protocol. Goods that receive more likes will gain prominence on the platform, and the active participation of users in reviewing and liking digital products will lay the groundwork for seller reputation and future airdrop distributions.

Currently, the platform is actively engaging creators who are keen to sell their digital goods, offering a transparent system complete with royalties and a secondary market. Instant rewards are available for those prepared to upload substantive items — whether that’s Databases (OSINT), Valuable contacts (OSINT), Custom emojis, Top 10 lists, Cryptocurrency tips, or anything else of value — and who bring along their audience. Additionally, referrals are rewarded, providing immediate incentives for every new creator who joins the platform.
