XRP Price Faces Key Hurdle
XRP price remained supported above $1.8650 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to climb above $1.90 and $1.920 to enter a short-term positive zone.
There was also a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.028 swing high to the $1.868 low. The price even spiked above $1.980 before the bears appeared. The bulls failed to clear the $2.00 resistance. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.00 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
The price is now trading below $2.00 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.990 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.028 swing high to the $1.868 low.
The first major resistance is near the $2.00 level. A close above $2.00 could send the price to $2.0650. The next hurdle sits at $2.10. A clear move above the $2.10 resistance might send the price toward the $2.150 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.20 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.250.
Another Drop?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.00 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.920 level. The next major support is near the $1.90 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.90 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.8650. The next major support sits near the $1.820 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.750.
