XRP Price Faces Resistance

The bears were able to push the price below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.95 swing low to the $3.00 high. Finally, the bulls appeared near the $2.20 support zone. A base is forming and the price is now attempting to recover above $2.30.

Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.550 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.40 level. The next major support is near the $2.320 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.320 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.20 support and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.95 swing low to the $3.00 high. The next major support sits near the $2.120 zone.
