Is XRP on a Slippery Slope to Oblivion? πŸ˜‚

Ah, dear reader! The price of XRP has embarked on a most unfortunate descent, tumbling below the $2.280 threshold, as if it were a hapless character in one of my tales, caught in a whirlwind of misfortune. Yet, it seems to be attempting a feeble recovery, perhaps hoping to rise above the $2.250 resistance, like a cat trying to land on its feet after a fall.

  • Indeed, the XRP price has begun its fresh decline, slipping below the $2.280 zone, much like a clumsy dancer at a ball.
  • Currently, it finds itself trading beneath $2.270, and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average is giving it the cold shoulder.
  • There exists a key bearish trend line, forming with resistance at $2.270, as if it were a stern teacher scolding a wayward student on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken, of course).
  • Should the pair fail to clear the $2.2440 level, it may very well plunge into another decline, like a character in a tragicomedy.

XRP Price Dips Further

Alas! The XRP price has failed to breach the $0.3550 resistance, initiating a fresh decline, much like its companions Bitcoin and Ethereum. It has descended below the $0.3000 and $0.280 support levels, as if it were fleeing from an angry mob.

In a dramatic twist, the price even dipped below the $0.220 support level, forming a low at $0.2132. Now, it consolidates its losses, making a minor move above the $0.220 level, as if trying to regain some dignity. It has cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2.3540 swing high to the $2.2132 low, but who are we kidding?

Currently, it trades below $2.30, and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average is giving it the side-eye. On the upside, it may face resistance near the $2.2440 level, which is perilously close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2.3540 swing high to the $2.2132 low.

The first major resistance lurks near the $2.270 level, with a key bearish trend line forming, as if it were a villain in our story.

The next resistance is at $2.30. A clear move above this might send the price toward the $2.320 resistance, and any further gains could propel it toward the $2.350 resistance or even $2.3650 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.420, but will they leap over it or fall flat on their faces?

Another Drop?

If XRP fails to conquer the $2.270 resistance zone, it could very well start another decline, like a tragic hero in a play. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.180 level, while the next major support is at $2.160.

Should there be a downside break and a close below the $2.160 level, the price might continue its descent toward the $2.120 support, with the next major support lurking near the $2.080 zone, like a lurking shadow.
