Moreover, there was a break above the $0.2400 resistance and the price traded to a new 2020 high at $0.2451. A short term top seems to have formed near the $0.2451 level and the price is currently declining.
It already broke the $0.2320 support level. Besides, there was a break below a key triangle support at $0.2234 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair traded below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.2099 low to $0.2451 high.

Ripple is now trading near the key $0.2230 support level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Additionally, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.2099 low to $0.2451 high is also near the $0.2230 zone.
The next major support or the last line of defense is near the $0.2200 level. A successful break and close below the $0.2200 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average could put the bulls on the back foot and the price might slide towards the $0.2120 support.
