We can see that on November 14th, the day that Bitcoin plummeted below $6000 in an overall market wipeout, Ripple had dropped to support provided by the downside 1.272 Fibonacci Extension level (drawn in red) priced at $0.4091 before rebounding. The market managed to rebound and find support at the .5 Fibonacci REtracement level (drawn in blue) priced at $0.4755.

The market has since surged and is now trading at resistance provided by the short-term 1.272 Fibonacci Extension level (drawn in purple) priced at $0.5198. Moving forward, if the buyers can push price action above this resistance level and continue higher they will meet resistance at the 1.414 and 1.618 Fibonacci Extension levels (drawn in purple) priced at $0.5356 and $0.5584, respectively.

If the bullish momentum can persist further higher then we can find more resistance above to be located at the medium termed 1.272 and 1.414 Fibonacci Extension levels (drawn in orange) priced at $0.6057 and $0.6248.
