After a nice upward move over the $0.2350 mark, the fourth-largest digital currency by market cap encountered stiff hurdles close to the $0.2380 mark. The price of the digital currency surged to as high as $0.2485 and it recently began a downward move. On its way down, it broke below the $0.2450 and $0.2420.
The digital currency even broke the 50 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the low of $0.2310 to the high of $0.2485. Nevertheless, there was a break below a key rising channel with a hurdle close to $0.2430 on the one-chart of the XRP/USD trading pair. The digital currency is now trading close to the $0.2380 support mark and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

| Name | Price | 24H % |
|---|---|---|
 | $0.00 | -0.80% |
The 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the low of $0.2310 to the high of $0.2485 is close to the $0.2380 mark. Provided the price of the digital currency remains over the $0.2380 support mark, it could begin a fresh upside move.
On the upside, the immediate hurdle for the digital currency is close to the $0.2420 mark. However, the first key hurdle point is close to the $0.2450 mark, over which the bulls might push the price towards the high of $0.2485. Any break over that level could pave the way for more gains towards the $0.2550 hurdle point. XRP is currently trading in the green, and chances are it could continue its upward move in the near term.
XRP News Today – XRP Bulls Need to Hold the 100 SMA to Prevent a Break
If the bulls fail to hold prices over the $0.2380 support mark and the 100 hourly simple moving average, chances are it could start a fresh downtrend. On the downside, the major support for the digital currency is close to the $0.2350 mark. A break below that support level could pave the way for more declines. If that happens, the price of the digital currency is likely to return to the $0.2300 support mark. A break below that level could be deadly, as the bears might have more traction to push prices toward the $0.2250 and $0.2200 marks in the coming sessions.
