The price tested the $2.8320 zone and recently attempted a recovery wave. It climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.05 swing high to the $2.8320 swing low. However, the bears remained active near $2.920.
The price is now trading below $2.90 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.880 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.880 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.920 level. A clear move above the $2.920 resistance might send the price toward the $2.950 resistance.
Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.00 resistance or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.05 swing high to the $2.8320 swing low. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $3.050.
