On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.10 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.207 swing high to the $2.6562 low. The first major resistance is near the $3.120 level. The next resistance is $3.150.
A clear move above the $3.150 resistance might send the price toward the $3.20 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.250 resistance or even $3.350 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $3.450.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $3.10 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3.00 level. The next major support is near the $2.950 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.950 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.880 support. The next major support sits near the $2.750 zone.
