XRP Price Starts Recovery
XRP price found support and started a strong recovery wave above $2.0, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to climb above the $2.20 and $2.25 levels to enter a positive zone.
There was a decent increase above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.05 swing high to the $1.40 swing low. However, the price could face hurdles near $2.60. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.660 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
The price is now trading below $2.60 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.60 level.

The first major resistance is near the $2.660 level and the trend line. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.05 swing high to the $1.40 swing low. A clear move above the $2.660 resistance might send the price toward the $2.70 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.720 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.80.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.60 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.450 level. The next major support is near the $2.40 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.40 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.320. The next major support sits near the $2.30 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.250.
