XRP Price Trims Gains
XRP price started a recovery wave above the $2.050 and $2.080 resistance levels, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price traded above the $2.10 and $2.120 levels to start a decent increase.
The bulls even pushed the price toward $2.150 before the bears appeared. A high was formed at $2.139 and the price started a downside correction. There was a move below the $2.10 and $2.080 support levels. The price even dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.038 swing low to the $2.139 high.
However, the bulls protected the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.038 swing low to the $2.139 high. The price is now trading above $2.080 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.10 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.080 level and the trend line. The next major support is near the $2.060 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.060 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.0320 support. The next major support sits near the $2.00 zone.
