  • XRP price started a fresh recovery wave above the $2.320 resistance zone.

  • The price is now trading above $2.350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

  • There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $2.40 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).

  • The pair might continue to move up if it clears the $2.4650 resistance zone.


XRP Price Eyes Breakout


XRP price remained supported and started a recovery wave above the $2.20 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to clear the $2.250 and $2.320 resistance levels.


The bulls were able to push the price above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.581 swing high to the $2.354 low. Besides, there was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $2.40 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.


The price is now trading above $2.320 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.450 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.4650 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.581 swing high to the $2.354 low.


XRP Price


The next resistance is $2.50. A clear move above the $2.50 resistance might send the price toward the $2.550 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance or even $2.6650 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.80.


Another Drop?


If XRP fails to clear the $2.4650 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.400 level and the trend line. The next major support is near the $2.350 level.


If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.350 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.320 support. The next major support sits near the $2.250 zone.
