With the 38.2% and the 23.6% Fibonacci levels depriving the bulls of their buying vigor, XRP flipped its 11-week trendline support (yellow, dashed) to immediate resistance.
As the sluggish phase continues, the altcoin is testing the $0.38-baseline that the buyers have held for over a year. A close below the immediate demand zone (green) would provide shorting opportunities.

Any close below the immediate baseline would give sellers enough thrust to open a door toward the $0.33-zone.
However, the distance between the 20 EMA (red) was over-extended from its 200 EMA (green). After this record-high gap, the buyers would be keen to step in and trigger a rally. A close beyond the $0.418-level could expose XRP to an upside toward the 23.6% Fibonacci resistance.
