XRP price started a fresh decline below the $2.420 zone, unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a move below the $2.40 and $2.3650 levels. The price tested the $2.3150 zone.
A low was formed at $2.3157 and the price is now attempting to recover. There was a move above the $2.335 and $2.350 levels. The price tested the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.4068 swing high to the $2.3157 high.
However, the price now faces hurdles near the $2.3650 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.3620 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
The price is now trading near $2.35 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.3650 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.3850 level. It is near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.4068 swing high to the $2.3157 high.
The next resistance is $2.420. A clear move above the $2.420 resistance might send the price toward the $2.450 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.50 resistance or even $2.550 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.650.
If XRP fails to clear the $2.420 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.3150 level. The next major support is near the $2.30 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.30 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.220 support. The next major support sits near the $2.20 zone.
