XRP Price Starts Recovery
XRP price started a recovery wave above $2.20 and $2.250, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price gained pace for a clear move above the $2.35 resistance.
There was a break above a key contracting triangle with resistance at $2.33 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair even surpassed the $2.420 barrier. A high was formed at $2.478 and the price started a consolidation phase above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.240 swing low to the $2.478 high.
The price is now trading above $2.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The bulls are now active near $2.450. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.480 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.50 level, above which the price could rise and test $2.550.
A clear move above the $2.550 resistance might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.720 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.750.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.50 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.420 level. The next major support is near the $2.3550 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.240 swing low to the $2.478 high.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.3550 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.30. The next major support sits near the $2.250 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.120.
