XRP price resumes decline

There was a sharp decline below the $0.24 and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). There was also a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the key upward move from the $0.2195 swing low to $0.255 swing high.
The decline was such that the bears pushed the price below the key $0.238 support. More importantly, yesterday’s followed important bearish trend line is active with resistance near $0.2445 on the 4-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The pair is now testing the $0.23 zone, plus the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the key upward move from the $0.2195 swing low to $0.255 swing high. If there is a downside break below the $0.23 and $0.228 support levels, it could open the doors for a sharp dip towards the next major support near the $0.22. Any further losses could lead XRP towards the $0.215.
If XRP finds support near $0.23 or $0.228, there are chances of a short-term upside correction. On the upside, the price is likely to face a strong resistance near $0.2400 and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).
The main resistance is still near the trend line and $0.245, above which the bulls are likely to gain strength in the coming days.
