XRP Price Extends Losses

XRP price failed to continue higher above the $2.420 resistance zone and reacted to the downside, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $2.40 and $2.35 levels.

The pair even tested the $2.30 zone. A low was formed at $2.301 and the price is now consolidating losses. The current price action is bearish below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.478 swing high to the $2.301 low.

The price is now trading below $2.38 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.35 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.35 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The first major resistance is near the $2.3850 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.478 swing high to the $2.301 low. The next resistance is $2.420.

XRP Price

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 $2.620.

More Losses?

If XRP fails to clear the $2.40 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.30 level. The next major support is near the $2.20 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.20 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.120 support. The next major support sits near the $2.050 zone.
