The price is now trading below $3.060 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls protect the $3.00 support, the price could attempt another increase. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.0620 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 $3.180 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $3.250.
More Downsides?
If XRP fails to clear the $3.0620 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $3.00 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.9365 swing low to the $3.186 high. The next major support is near the $2.9350 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.9350 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.90. The next major support sits near the $2.880 zone, below which the price could gain bearish momentum.
