XRP Price Retreats Lower
XRP price started a fresh increase after it settled above $2.50, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price surpassed the $2.550 and $2.60 resistance levels.
The bulls were able to push the price above $2.650. A high was formed at $2.6972 and the price recently started a downside correction. There was a move below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent move from the $2.327 swing low to the $2.6972 high.
Besides, there was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2.6350 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.60 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.620 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.650 level, above which the price could rise and test $2.6880. A clear move above the $2.6880 resistance might send the price toward the $2.720 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.7650 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.80.
More Losses?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.650 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.5650 level. The next major support is near the $2.550 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.550 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.5120 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent move from the $2.327 swing low to the $2.6972 high. The next major support sits near the $2.450 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $2.40.
