XRP Price Starts Consolidation
XRP price started a downside correction from $3.0850, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price traded below the $3.050 and $3.000 levels.
The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.824 swing low to the $3.080 high. Besides, there was a break below a key contracting triangle with support at $3.020 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
However, the price found support near the $2.950 zone. It seems like the bulls are protecting the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.824 swing low to the $3.080 high. The price is now trading near $2.980 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action, the price could attempt another increase.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.020 level. The first major resistance is near the $3.080 level. A clear move above the $3.080 resistance might send the price toward the $3.120 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.150 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $3.20.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $3.080 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.950 level. The next major support is near the $2.9220 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.9220 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.840. The next major support sits near the $2.780 zone, below which the price could gain bearish momentum.
