The price started a fresh decline below $2.050 and $2.020.<\/p>\n<p>There was a move below the $2.00 support level. A low was formed at $1.9525, and the price recently started an upside correction. There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.047 swing high to the $1.952 low.<\/p>\n<p>However, the bears are active near $2.00 and $2.020. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.020 on the hourly chart of the XRP\/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.00 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.00 level.

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 $2.020 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline.
