Resistance XRP price started a fresh increase after it settled above the 
$2.220 level, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to climb above the 
$2.2320 resistance level. The bulls were able to push the price above the 
$2.250 level. Moreover, there was a clear move above the 61.8% Fib retracement 
level of the downward move from the $2.3111 swing high to the $2.197 low. The 
price is now trading above $2.250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On 
the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.280 level. There is 
also a short-term contracting triangle forming with resistance at $2.280 on 
the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The first major resistance is near the 
$2.2850 level. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward 
move from the $2.3111 swing high to the $2.197 low. The next resistance is 
$2.320. A clear move above the $2.320 resistance might send the price toward 
the $2.350 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.40 
resistance or even $2.420 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the 
bulls might be $2.50. Another Decline? If XRP fails to clear the $2.2850 
resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the 
downside is near the $2.260 level. The next major support is near the $2.2320 
level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.2320 level, the 
price might continue to decline toward the $2.20 support. The next major 
support sits near the $2.150 zone. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD
