XRP price declined over 5% after failing to surpass $2.35, currently showing bearish signals below $2.20.
- XRP price started a decline below the $2.250 support level.
- The price is trading below $2.25 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
- A break occurred below a key declining channel with support at $2.235 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
- The pair may initiate an increase if it remains above the $2.120 support.
XRP Price Dips Again
XRP price could not clear the $2.35 resistance and began a fresh decline, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price moved sharply below the $2.30 and $2.50 support levels.
A break below a key declining channel with support at $2.235 occurred, leading to a decline exceeding 5%, testing the $2.120 zone where a low was formed at $2.126. Currently, the price is consolidating losses.
After correcting some losses, XRP climbed above $2.15, testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from $2.348 to $2.126. It is now trading below $2.25 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
Resistance lies near the $2.18 level, with initial major resistance at $2.20. The next resistance is at $2.24, aligning with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline. A clear move above $2.24 may push the price towards $2.30.
Further gains could lead to resistance around $2.320 or even $2.350 in the near term, with a significant hurdle for bulls at $2.450.
More Losses?
If XRP does not clear the $2.24 resistance zone, another decline may occur. Initial downside support is near $2.12, followed by major support at $2.10.
A downside breach and close below $2.10 could result in a continued decline toward $2.050, with the next major support near the $2.00 zone.
