XRP price started a fresh decline below $2.00. The price is now struggling and 
faces resistance near the $2.020 resistance level. XRP price started a fresh 
decline below the $2.00 zone. The price is now trading below $2.00 and the 
100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bearish trend line forming with 
resistance at $2.020 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from 
Kraken). The pair could continue to move down if it settles below $1.950. XRP 
Price Dips Again XRP price attempted a recovery wave above $2.120 but failed 
to continue higher, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price started a fresh 
decline below $2.050 and $2.020. There was a move below the $2.00 support 
level. A low was formed at $1.9525, and the price recently started an upside 
correction. There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the 
downward move from the $2.047 swing high to the $1.952 low. However, the bears 
are active near $2.00 and $2.020. There is also a bearish trend line forming 
with resistance at $2.020 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price 
is now trading below $2.00 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there 
is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.00 level. 
The first major resistance is near the $2.020 level or the 61.8% Fib 
retracement level of the downward move from the $2.047 swing high to the 
$1.952 low. A close above $2.020 could send the price to $2.050. The next 
hurdle sits at $2.080. A clear move above the $2.120 resistance might send the 
price toward the $2.150 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward 
the $2.20 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near 
$2.250. Another Decline? If XRP fails to clear the $2.020 resistance zone, it 
could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the 
$1.9650 level. The next major support is near the $1.950 level. If there is a 
downside break and a close below the $1.950 level, the price might continue to 
decline toward $1.920. The next major support sits near the $1.880 zone, below 
which the price could continue lower toward $1.820. Technical Indicators
