There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.26 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The next resistance is at $2.30 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.64 swing high to the $1.98 low. A clear move above the $2.30 resistance might send the price toward the $2.350 resistance.
