XRP Price Faces Rejection
XRP price remained supported above $2.020 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to climb above $2.050 and $2.060 to enter a positive zone.
There was also a spike above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.2130 swing high to the $1.990 low. The bears defended a close above the $2.10 level and the price reacted to the downside. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.0850 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
The price is now trading above $2.050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.10 level and the trend line. The first major resistance is near the $2.120 level.

A close above $2.120 could send the price to $2.160 and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.2130 swing high to the $1.990 low. The next hurdle sits at $2.20. A clear move above the $2.20 resistance might send the price toward the $2.2650 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.280 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.350.
Another Drop?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.10 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.050 level. The next major support is near the $2.0150 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.0150 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.950. The next major support sits near the $1.920 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.850.
