XRP Price Eyes A Comeback

The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.383 swing high to the $2.130 low. There was also a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $2.185 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The next resistance is $2.30. A clear move above the $2.30 resistance might send the price toward the $2.420 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.50 resistance or even $2.550 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.680.

Another Decline?
