Ripple Price Analysis

After forming a local top near the $0.2320 level, ripple started a fresh decline against the US Dollar. XRP price declined below the $0.2250 support level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Moreover, the price broke the $0.2200 support and tested the $0.2180 support zone. A low was formed near the $0.2188 and the price recently started an upside correction.

There was a break above the $0.2220 resistance area. Besides, the price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the latest decline from the $0.2325 high to $0.2188 low.

More importantly, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2260 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. Finally, the 100 hourly simple moving average is acting as a strong resistance near $0.2250.
