XRP price started a decent increase above $2.120. The price is now correcting 
gains and might struggle to stay in a positive zone. XRP price started a 
downside correction and tested the $2.080 zone. The price is now trading below 
$2.120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bearish trend line 
forming with resistance at $2.110 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair 
(data source from Kraken). The pair could start another increase if it clears 
$2.150. XRP Price Dips Again XRP price started a downside correction from the 
$2.220 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price dipped below the $2.20 and 
$2.150 levels to enter a consolidation phase. The price even dipped below the 
50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.984 swing low to the 
$2.220 high. Besides, there is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at 
$2.110 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. However, the bulls remained 
active above the $2.080 support. The price is now trading below $2.10 and the 
100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price 
might face resistance near the $2.110 level and the trend line. The first 
major resistance is near the $2.150 level, above which the price could rise 
and test $2.220. A clear move above the $2.220 resistance might send the price 
toward the $2.2850 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the 
$2.350 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.420. 
Another Decline? If XRP fails to clear the $2.150 resistance zone, it could 
start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.080 
level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.984 
swing low to the $2.220 high. The next major support is near the $2.040 level. 
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.040 level, the price 
might continue to decline toward $2.00. The next major support sits near the 
$1.9850 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.920. 
Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now gaining pace in 
the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD 
is now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $2.080 and $2.040. Major 
Resistance Levels – $2.110 and $2.150.
