The price started a fresh decline below $2.080 and $2.050.<\/p>\n<p>There was a move below the $2.00 support level. A low was formed at $1.993, and the price recently started an upside correction. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.177 swing high to the $1.993 low.<\/p>\n<p>However, the bears are active near $2.040 and $2.050. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.040 on the hourly chart of the XRP\/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.040 level.

The next hurdle sits at $2.150. A clear move above the $2.150 resistance might send the price toward the $2.1850 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.220 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.250.<\/p>\n<h2>Another Decline?<\/h2>\n<p>If XRP fails to clear the $2.040 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.00 level. The next major support is near the $1.9880 level.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.9880 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.920.
