A close above $2.080 could send the price to $2.120. The next hurdle sits at $2.150. A clear move above the $2.150 resistance might send the price toward the $2.20 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.250 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.320.

If XRP fails to clear the $2.080 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.950 level. The next major support is near the $1.920 level.
