However, the $0.2920 area is once again acting as a resistance. It also coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.2993 high to $0.2828 low. Besides, there is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2910 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
