  • The price is now trading below $2.60 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

XRP Price Recovery Could Soon Fade

XRP price started a recovery wave above the $2.00 support zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price gained pace for a move above the $2.20 and $2.45 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 correcting gains. There was a move below the $2.60 level. The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $1.750 swing low to the $2.780 high.

The price is now trading below $2.60 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.60 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.60 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

XRP Price

The first major resistance is near the $2.70 level. The next resistance is $2.780. A clear move above the $2.780 resistance might send the price toward the $2.940 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.000 resistance or even $3.050 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $3.120.

 

Another Decline?

If XRP fails to clear the $2.60 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.260 level or the Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $1.750 swing low to the $2.780 high. The next major support is near the $2.150 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.150 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.050 support. The next major support sits near the $2.00 zone.
