The bears even pushed the price below the $2.120 support zone. A low was formed at $2.095 and the price is now consolidating losses. It is trading below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.2579 swing high to the $2.095 low.

On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.1320 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.1750 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.2579 swing high to the $2.095 low.

The next resistance is $2.1950. A clear move above the $2.1950 resistance might send the price toward the $2.220 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.250 resistance or even $2.30 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.320.

If XRP fails to clear the $2.1750 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.10 level. The next major support is near the $2.080 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.080 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.050 support. The next major support sits near the $2.020 zone.
