XRP Price Eyes Steady Increase

XRP price remained supported above $2.020 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to climb above $2.080 and $2.10 to enter a short-term positive zone.

There was also a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.416 swing high to the $2.034 low. Besides, there was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $2.080 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The price is now trading above $2.120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.220 level. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.416 swing high to the $2.034 low.

The first major resistance is near the $2.250 level. A close above $2.250 could send the price to $2.320. The next hurdle sits at $2.350. A clear move above the $2.350 resistance might send the price toward the $2.40 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.420 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.450.

Another Drop?

If XRP fails to clear the $2.220 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.120 level. The next major support is near the $2.10 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.10 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.050. The next major support sits near the $2.020 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.00.
