XRP Price Revisits Key Support At $2.20
XRP price made another attempt to clear the $2.70 resistance. However, it failed to surpass $2.70 and corrected some gains unlike Bitcoin and like Ethereum. There was a move below the $2.50 and $2.40 levels.
A low was formed at $2.166 and the price is now correcting losses. There was a move above the $2.20 and $2.25 levels. The bulls pushed it back above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.865 swing high to the $2.166 low.
The price is now trading below $2.50 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.40 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.50 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.865 swing high to the $2.166 low.
There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.50 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The next key resistance could be $2.550. A clear move above the $2.550 resistance might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.70 resistance or even $2.850 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $3.00.
More Downsides?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.500 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.250 level. The next major support is near the $2.20 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.20 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.050 support and the trend line. The next major support sits near the $2.00 zone.
