There was a move above the $0.612 resistance. However, XRP is now trading below $0.625 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $0.625 zone. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.7000 swing high to the $0.6010 swing low.
The first major resistance is near the $0.628 zone. A close above the $0.628 resistance zone could spark a steady increase. The next key resistance is near $0.650 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the main decline from the $0.720 swing high to the $0.5720 swing low.

If the bulls remain in action above the $0.650 resistance level, there could be a rally toward the $0.700 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.720 resistance.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $0.625 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.612 zone.
The next major support is at $0.600. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.600 level, XRP price might accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price could retest the $0.572 support zone.
