Ripple Price Analysis
Yesterday, ripple made another attempt to surpass the $0.3030 and $0.3040 resistance levels against the US Dollar. However, XRP price failed to continue higher and a started a fresh decline.
It broke a couple of important supports near the $0.2980 and $0.2950 levels. Moreover, there was a close below the $0.2950 support area and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It opened the doors for more downsides below the $0.2940 level.
During the slide, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support near $0.2940 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. Ripple even spiked below the $0.2900 level, but it seems like the $0.2880 support area acted as a strong buy zone.
A swing low was formed near $0.2871 and the price is currently correcting higher. It is testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.3032 high to $0.2871 low.
On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $0.2920 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Besides, the $0.2940 level might also act as a hurdle. The main resistance is near the $0.2950 level since it coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.3032 high to $0.2871 low.

An immediate support is near the $0.2880 level. The main support is near the $0.2850 level, below which the price could turn bearish in the short term.
