XRP Price Attempts Recovery
XRP price formed a base above $2.30 and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price surpassed the $2.3750 and $2.380 resistance levels.
The bulls were able to push the price above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.5320 swing high to the $2.3275 low. However, the bears are currently active near the $2.420 zone and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
The price is now trading below $2.420 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a contracting triangle forming with resistance at $2.420 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.420 level. It is also close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.5320 swing high to the $2.3275 low. The first major resistance is near the $2.480 level, above which the price could rise and test $2.550.
A clear move above the $2.550 resistance might send the price toward the $2.580 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.720.
Another Drop?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.420 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.380 level. 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 $2.320. The next major support sits near the $2.250 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.20.
