The price declined below $2.120 and $2.10 to enter a short-term bearish zone.<\/p>\n<p>The price even spiked below $2.080. A low was formed at $2.052, and the price is now consolidating losses. There was an attempt to clear $2.080 and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.193 swing high to the $2.052 low, but the bears remained active. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.0850 on the hourly chart of the XRP\/USD pair.<\/p>\n<p>The price is now trading below $2.10 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.0850 level and the trend line. The first major resistance is near the $2.120 level. It is close to 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2.193 swing high to the $2.052 low.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-876082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP_Price_ae22c6.png?resize=1024%2C488\" alt=\"XRP Price \" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A close above $2.120 could send the price to $2.1395.
