XRP Price Moves Lower

XRP price started a recovery wave above the $2.20 support zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price gained pace for a move above the $2.250 and $2.400 resistance levels.

The bulls pumped the price above the $2.60 level. However, the bears remained active near the $2.75 level. A high was formed at $2.780 and the price is now moving lower. There was a move below the $2.560 level. The price dropped and tested the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $1.750 swing low to the $2.780 high.

The price is now trading below $2.550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.50 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.50 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

XRP Price

The first major resistance is near the $2.60 level. The next resistance is $2.70. A clear move above the $2.70 resistance might send the price toward the $2.80 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.920 resistance or even $3.00 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $3.050.

More Losses?

If XRP fails to clear the $2.50 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.260 level. The next major support is near the $2.1450 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $1.750 swing low to the $2.780 high.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.1450 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.00 support. The next major support sits near the $1.880 zone.
