XRP Price Eyes Upside Break
XRP price remained supported and started a fresh increase above the $2.050 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price recovered above the $2.080 and $2.120 resistance levels.
The pair even cleared the $2.180 resistance and recently spiked above the $2.220 zone. A high was formed at $2.2294 and the price is now consolidating gains above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.910 swing low to the $2.2294 high.
The price is now trading above $2.180 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $2.1320 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.220 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.250 level. The next resistance is $2.320. A clear move above the $2.320 resistance might send the price toward the $2.40 resistance.
Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.480 resistance or even $2.50 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.550.
Downside Correction?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.220 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.150 level. The next major support is near the $2.1320 level and the trend line.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.1320 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.050 support or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.910 swing low to the $2.2294 high. The next major support sits near the $2.00 zone.
