XRP price started a fresh recovery wave from the $1.90 zone. The price is now consolidating and might struggle to clear the $2.10 resistance zone.


  • XRP price started a fresh decline from the $2.250 resistance zone.

  • The price is now trading below $2.20 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

  • There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.06 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).

  • The pair might continue to move up if it clears the $2.10 resistance zone.


XRP Price Dips Further

XRP price started a fresh decline after it failed to clear the $2.250 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $2.10 and $2.050 support levels.


The bears even pushed the price below $2.00. A low was formed at $1.90 and the price is now attempting to recover. There was a move above the $1.950 and $1.980 resistance levels. The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.260 swing high to the $1.90 low.


The price is now trading below $2.20 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.060 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.06 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The first major resistance is near the $2.080 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.260 swing high to the $1.90 low. The next resistance is $2.120. A clear move above the $2.120 resistance might send the price toward the $2.1750 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.20 resistance or even $2.250 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.450.
