XRP Price Dips Again
XRP price started a recovery wave above $2.25 and $2.30, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price even attempted a move above $2.40 but failed to clear $2.42.
A high was formed at $2.414 and the price started a fresh decline. There was a drop below $2.33 and $2.32 levels. The price traded below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.066 swing low to the $2.414 high.
Besides, there was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2.360 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.30 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
The bulls are now active near $2.20 and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.066 swing low to the $2.414 high. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.30 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.350 level, above which the price could rise and test $2.420.
A clear move above the $2.420 resistance might send the price toward the $2.50 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.550 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.650.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.30 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.20 level. The next major support is near the $2.150 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.150 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.050. The next major support sits near the $2.00 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.840.
