XRP Price Surges—$2.25 Breakout Could Trigger Major Rally
XRP’s momentum spikes as traders eye a critical $2.25 resistance level. A clean break could send prices soaring—or, let’s be honest, give bagholders another chance to dump before the next ’institutional adoption’ rumor fizzles. Watch the charts, not the hype.
XRP Price Gains Strength
XRP price started a recovery wave above the $2.0650 and $2.10 resistance levels, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price traded above the $2.120 and $2.150 levels to start a decent increase.
The bulls even pushed the price toward $2.250 before the bears appeared. A high was formed at $2.2490 and the price started a downside correction. There was a move below the $2.2350 and $2.2220 support levels. The price even tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.060 swing low to the $2.2490 high.
However, the bulls protected the $2.20 support. The price is now trading above $2.220 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $2.20 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
On the upside, the price might face resistance NEAR the $2.2450 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.250 level. The next resistance is $2.350. A clear move above the $2.350 resistance might send the price toward the $2.50 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.620 resistance or even $2.650 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.80.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.250 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.20 level and the trend line. The next major support is near the $2.150 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2.060 swing low to the $2.2490 high.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.150 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.120 support. The next major support sits near the $2.080 zone.
