XRP Price Trim Gains

XRP price managed to stay above the $2.50 support and remained in a positive zone, unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum. A base was formed, and the price started a decent upward move above the $2.60 and $2.70 levels.

The price even climbed above the $2.80 level before the bears appeared. A high was formed at $2.8322 and the price is now correcting gains. There was a minor move below $2.72. The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $2.330 swing low to the $2.830 swing high.

There was also a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $2.6880 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.70 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.700 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.720 level. The next resistance is $2.80. A clear move above the $2.80 resistance might send the price toward the $2.840 resistance.

More Losses?
