XRP Price Eyes Upside Break
XRP price formed a base above the $3.10 level and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price gained pace for a move above the $3.120 and $3.15 resistance levels.
The bulls pumped the price above the $3.250 resistance, but the bears were active near $3.30. A high was formed at $3.30 and the price dipped toward the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3.10 swing low to the $3.30 high.
The price is now trading above $3.220 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.2880 level. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3.288 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
The first major resistance is near the $3.30 level. A clear move above the $3.30 resistance might send the price toward the $3.350 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.380 resistance or even $3.40 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near the $3.450 zone.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $3.30 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3.20 level. The next major support is near the $3.150 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3.10 swing low to the $3.30 high.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $3.150 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $3.080 support. The next major support sits near the $3.020 zone where the bulls might take a stand.
