Ripple Price is Facing Hurdles
This past week, there was a strong decline in bitcoin, Ethereum and ripple. XRP price started a substantial decline from well above the $0.2200 level and broke many key supports near the $0.2080 level.
The price settled below the $0.2000 support area and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It traded as low as $0.1872 and it is currently correcting higher. The bulls were able to push the price above the $0.1920 and $0.1950 resistance levels.
Ripple price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.2252 high to $0.1872 low. It is now facing hurdles near the $0.2000 resistance area. There is also a short term bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.19855 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

If there is an upside break above the trend line and $0.2000, the pair could recover towards the $0.2065 and $0.2080 resistance levels. The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.2252 high to $0.1872 low is also near $0.2062.
Therefore, the bulls are likely to face a strong selling interest if there is a decent recovery wave towards the $0.2060 and $0.2080 resistance levels.
