Ripple Price Analysis
After forming a local top near the $0.2320 level, ripple started a fresh decline against the US Dollar. XRP price declined below the $0.2250 support level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
Moreover, the price broke the $0.2200 support and tested the $0.2180 support zone. A low was formed near the $0.2188 and the price recently started an upside correction.
There was a break above the $0.2220 resistance area. Besides, the price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the latest decline from the $0.2325 high to $0.2188 low.
However, the price is facing a lot of hurdles near the $0.2250 and $0.2260 resistance levels. It seems like the 50% Fib retracement level of the latest decline from the $0.2325 high to $0.2188 low is acting as a resistance.
More importantly, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2260 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. Finally, the 100 hourly simple moving average is acting as a strong resistance near $0.2250.
Therefore, a clear break above the $0.2260 resistance area and the 100 hourly simple moving average could open the doors for more gains. The next major resistance is near the $0.2300 level. It is near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the latest decline from the $0.2325 high to $0.2188 low.
