XRP Price Consolidates Gains

XRP price formed a base and started a fresh increase from the $2.10 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a move above the $2.150 and $2.20 resistance levels.

The bulls even pushed the price above the $2.25 level. Finally, the price tested the $2.320 resistance. A high was formed at $2.3294 and the price is now correcting some gains. There was a move below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.2250 swing low to the $2.3294 high.

XRP Price

On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.30 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.320 level. The next resistance is $2.350. A clear move above the $2.350 resistance might send the price toward the $2.40 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.420 resistance or even $2.450 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.50.

Downside Break?

If XRP fails to clear the $2.30 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.2750 level and the trend line. The next major support is near the $2.250 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.2250 swing low to the $2.3294 high.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.250 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.220 support. The next major support sits near the $2.20 zone.
