Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.350 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.28 level and the trend line.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.240 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.20 support. The next major support sits near the $2.050 zone.
