XRP Price Holds Gains Above $2.30

On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.620 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.720 level. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.848 swing high to the $2.276 low.
The next key resistance could be $2.850. A clear move above the $2.850 resistance might send the price toward the $2.950 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.00 resistance or even $3.150 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $3.20.
Are Dips Limited?
