XRP Price Eyes Fresh Increase
XRP price remained in a positive zone after it settled above the $2.850 zone, unlike Bitcoin and like Ethereum. The price was able to climb above the $2.920 and $3.00 resistance levels.
However, the bears were active near $3.120. A high was formed at $3.1260 and the price is now consolidating gains below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $2.781 swing low to the $3.126 high.
The price is now trading above $2.920 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.065 level. The first major resistance is near the $3.120 level. There is also a rising channel forming with resistance at $3.120 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
A clear move above the $3.120 resistance might send the price toward the $3.150 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.20 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $3.250.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $3.120 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.990 level. The next major support is near the $2.950 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.950 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.920 support and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $2.781 swing low to the $3.126 high. The next major support sits near the $2.8620 zone, below which the price could gain bearish momentum.
