XRP price started a fresh decline and tested the $2.080 zone. The price is now recovering and might aim for an upward move above the $2.20 resistance.

  • XRP price started a decent upward move from the $2.080 zone.

  • The price is now trading above $2.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

  • There is a short-term rising channel forming with support at $2.140 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).

  • The pair might start another increase if it clears the $2.20 resistance zone.

XRP Price Eyes Recovery

XRP price declined below the $2.250 and $2.20 levels, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price even declined below the $2.120 zone and tested the $2.080 support.

A low was formed at $2.085 and the price is now attempting to recover. There was a move above the $2.10 and $2.120 levels. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.338 swing high to the $2.085 low.

Besides, there is a short-term rising channel forming with support at $2.140 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading above $2.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.20 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.2120 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.338 swing high to the $2.085 low.

XRP Price

The next resistance is $2.250. A clear move above the $2.250 resistance might send the price toward the $2.320 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.350 resistance or even $2.3650 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.420.

Another Decline?

If XRP fails to clear the $2.20 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.140 level and the trend line. The next major support is near the $2.120 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.120 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.080 support. The next major support sits near the $2.020 zone.
