XRP Price Correction: Deeper Dip or Temporary Setback?
The XRP price has recently experienced a downturn, slipping below the key $2.280 support level. This downward movement raises questions about the potential for a more significant correction. Currently trading below $2.270 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average (SMA), XRP faces a critical juncture. A bearish trend line, visible on the hourly chart (Kraken data), adds to the bearish pressure, placing resistance around $2.270. Failure to breach the $2.2440 level could trigger further declines.
This recent drop mirrors the movement seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum, with XRP failing to surpass the $0.3550 resistance. The price subsequently fell below the $0.3000 and $0.280 support levels, eventually dipping below $0.220 before finding support at $0.2132. While a minor recovery above $0.220 occurred, surpassing the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the downward wave from the $2.3540 high to the $2.2132 low, the price remains below the crucial $2.30 level and the 100-hourly SMA.
Looking ahead, resistance levels are prominent. The $2.2440 level (near the 50% Fibonacci retracement), $2.270 (major resistance and bearish trend line intersection), and $2.30 are key hurdles. A decisive break above $2.30 could propel XRP towards $2.320, $2.350, or even $2.3650. However, overcoming the significant $2.420 resistance would signal a stronger bullish trend.
Potential for Further Decline: Should XRP fail to break through the $2.270 resistance, a continuation of the downward trend is likely. Support levels to watch include $2.180, $2.160, $2.120, and $2.080. A close below $2.160 would signal a stronger bearish momentum, potentially leading to further declines.
