The price declined even more until it reached the $0.1800 level. But today, December 18th, things worsened for XRP, as it reached a new 2-year low by going down to $0.1770. The price is currently correcting higher, trading at $0,179122.
The initial resistance level is currently set at $0.1880. If there should be an increase above $0.1880, the price could climb back to the $0.1980 resistance area.
The breakdown support levels are currently near $0.1980 and $0.2000, which are likely to pose a challenge for XRP in its recovery.
As a key bearish trend line formed with resistance at $0.2100 on the 4-hours chart, should XRP begin its recovery, it will most likely encounter difficulties at the $0.2000 and $0.2100 levels.
For a strong bullish run, XRP would have to break past the $0.2100 level. If the coin fails to do this, the next few weeks will be critical in avoiding huge drops below the $0.1800 level.
