XRP price is down from the $2.85 resistance zone. The price is showing a few bearish signs and must clear $2.650 to start a fresh increase.

  • XRP price started a fresh decline below the $2.70 level.
  • The price is now trading below $2.650 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
  • There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.620 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
  • The pair might start a fresh increase if it clears the $2.620 resistance zone.

XRP Price Dips Further

XRP price failed to gain pace for a move above the $2.850 level and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum . The price dipped below the $2.720 and $2.70 levels.

There was also a move below the $2.60 support level. Finally, the price tested the $2.50 zone. A low was formed at $2.470 and the price is now consolidating losses near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.832 swing high to the $2.470 low.

The price is now trading below $2.650 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.60 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.620 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The first major resistance is near the $2.650 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.832 swing high to the $2.470 low. The next resistance is $2.70.

A clear move above the $2.70 resistance might send the price toward the $2.80 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.850 resistance or even $2.880 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $3.00.

Another Decline?

If XRP fails to clear the $2.650 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.50 level. The next major support is near the $2.480 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.480 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.420 support. The next major support sits near the $2.350 zone.
