Ripple Price Analysis
After a fresh decline, ripple found support above the $0.2180 level against the US Dollar. As a result, XRP price started an upside correction above the $0.2220 level.
However, the price struggled to gain bullish momentum above the $0.2260 area and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A high was formed near $0.2264 and the price declined below $0.2200.
It retested the $0.2180 support area and a new weekly low was formed near $0.2173. At the outset, ripple is correcting above the $0.2200 level. Moreover, it surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.2264 high to $0.2173 low.
An immediate resistance on the upside is near the $0.2220 level. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.2264 high to $0.2173 low is also near the $0.2220 level.

Therefore, a clear break above the $0.2240 and $0.2260 levels is must to set the pace for more gains. The next major resistance above $0.2260 is near the $0.2320 level. An intermediate resistance is near the $0.2285 level.
