The price gained pace for a clear move above the $2.30 resistance.<\/p>\n<p>The bulls even pumped the price above the $2.40 zone. A high was formed at $2.416 and the price started a downside correction. There was a move below $2.35 and $2.30. However, the bulls were active near $2.20. A low was formed at $2.206, and the price is now attempting a fresh increase.<\/p>\n<p>There was a move to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downside correction from the $2.416 swing high to the $2.206 low. The price is now trading above $2.220 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $2.210 on the hourly chart of the XRP\/USD pair.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.30 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.330 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downside correction from the $2.416 swing high to the $2.206 low, above which the price could rise and test $2.40.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-873441\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP_Price_416cae.png?resize=1024%2C488\" alt=\"XRP Price \" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A clear move above the $2.40 resistance might send the price toward the $2.420 resistance.
