XRP Price Rally Loses Steam

The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.330 swing low to the $2.8322 high.
The current price action is positive. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $2.680 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading above $2.650 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.750 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.80 level. The next resistance is $2.840. A clear move above the $2.840 resistance might send the price toward the $2.920 resistance.
Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.0 resistance or even $3.050 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $3.120.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.750 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.680 level or the trend line. The next major support is near the $2.60 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.330 swing low to the $2.8322 high.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.60 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.550 support. The next major support sits near the $2.50 zone.
