XRP Price Eyes Fresh Rally
XRP price started a fresh decline below the $3.250 support zone, underperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $3.20 and $3.050 support levels.
The decline was such that the price traded below the $3.00 level. A low was formed at $2.959 and the price is now correcting losses. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3.650 swing high to the $2.959 low.
Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $3.240 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading above $3.250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.30 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3.650 swing high to the $2.959 low. The first major resistance is near the $3.3850 level. A clear move above the $3.3850 resistance might send the price toward the $3.450 resistance.
Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.50 resistance or even $3.5120 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near the $3.650 zone.
Another Drop?
If XRP fails to clear the $3.30 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3.20 level. The next major support is near the $3.150 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $3.150 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $3.050 support. The next major support sits near the $3.00 zone.
