XRP Price Eyes More Gains

XRP price remained supported above the $2.120 level and started a fresh upward wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to surpass the $2.150 and $2.220 levels.

The bulls pushed the price above the $2.250 resistance zone to set the pace for more gains. Finally, it tested the $2.330 zone. A high was formed at $2.330 and the price is now consolidating gains above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.106 swing low to the $2.330 high.

The price is now trading above $2.250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a steep bullish trend line forming with support at $2.30 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.330 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.350 level. The next resistance is $2.420. A clear move above the $2.420 resistance might send the price toward the $2.50 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.550 resistance or even $2.6350 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.750.

Another Decline?

If XRP fails to clear the $2.350 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 $2.220 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.220 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.150 support. The next major support sits near the $2.120 zone.
