It even spiked above the $0.3200 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the price struggled to hold gains above $0.3220 and later declined.

Besides, there was a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.3047 low to $0.3231 high. At the outset, there is a declining channel in place with support at $0.3130 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The current price action suggests that the price could dip below the $0.3130 and $0.3120 levels. Having said that, the price is likely to find bids near the $0.3100 for a fresh upward move.
