XRP Price Dips Further

The price even spiked below $2.30. A low was formed at $2.287, and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor recovery, and the price tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.647 swing high to the $2.287 low.
The price is now trading below $2.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.40 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.40 level and the trend line. The first major resistance is near the $2.450 level, above which the price could rise and test the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.647 swing high to the $2.287 low at $2.467.
A clear move above the $2.4670 resistance might send the price toward the $2.50 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.550 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.60.
Another Drop?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.40 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.30 level. The next major support is near the $2.280 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.280 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.250. The next major support sits near the $2.220 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.120.
