XRP price struggled to continue higher above the $3.30 level. The price is now correcting gains and might find bids near the $3.00 level.

  • XRP price started a downside correction from the $3.30 zone.

  • The price is now trading below $3.20 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

  • There was a break below a connecting bullish trend line with support at $3.1450 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).

  • The pair might start a fresh increase if it stays above the $3.00 support.


XRP Price Dips Again


XRP price managed to start a fresh increase from the $3.120 support zone, but upsides were limited compared to Bitcoin. The price was able to surpass the $3.250 level before the bears appeared.


A high was formed at $3.285 and the price recently started a downside correction. There was a move below the $3.20 support. The price dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3.012 swing low to the $3.285 high.


Besides, there was a break below a connecting bullish trend line with support at $3.1450 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $3.20 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.


It is now holding the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3.012 swing low to the $3.285 high. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.150 level. The first major resistance is near the $3.20 level.


XRP Price


The next resistance is $3.250. A clear move above the $3.250 resistance might send the price toward the $3.30 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.4250 resistance or even $3.450 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $3.50.


More Losses?

If XRP fails to clear the $3.20 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3.120 level. The next major support is near the $3.00 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $3.00 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.880 support. The next major support sits near the $2.750 zone.
