XRP Price Dips Sharply
XRP price failed to stay above $2.050 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below $2.00 and $1.950 to enter a short-term bearish zone.
The price even spiked below $1.880. A low was formed at $1.8681, and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a recovery wave above $1.90. The price even tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.028 swing high to the $1.8681 low, but the bears remained active.
The price is now trading below $1.920 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.950 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.028 swing high to the $1.8681 low.
The first major resistance is near the $2.00 level and the trend line. A close above $2.00 could send the price to $2.050. The next hurdle sits at $2.10. A clear move above the $2.10 resistance might send the price toward the $2.120 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.150 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.20.
More Losses?
If XRP fails to clear the $1.95 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.880 level. The next major support is near the $1.850 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.850 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.820. The next major support sits near the $1.80 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.7650.
