XRP Price Trends Downward

XRP's price experienced a decline, unable to stay above the crucial $1.4350 mark. This pattern is similar to what we are seeing with Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price fell below significant levels of $1.4250 and $1.4120, entering a bearish zone.

Additionally, it dropped past the 50% Fibonacci retracement level associated with the upward movement from a low of $1.3217 to a high of $1.4432. A bearish trend line was also breached, which had established support at $1.3890 on the hourly XRP/USD chart.

At this moment, XRP is trading above $1.3680, alongside the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Should there be a resurgence in upward movement, resistance likely awaits near the $1.3980 level. The first significant resistance to watch is around $1.40; if surpassed, the price could test the $1.4250 level.

A decisive move over the $1.4250 resistance could propel the price toward the $1.450 mark. If the bulls gain momentum, further gains might push the price toward $1.50, with the next notable resistance appearing around $1.5250.

Risk of Further Losses

Should XRP fail to overcome the resistance at $1.4250, it may enter another decline. Initial support is set at approximately $1.3720, followed by significant support at $1.3680, which aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the upward move from $1.3217 to $1.4432.

In the event of a break below the $1.3680 level, the price could continue to decrease toward $1.350. The next critical support zone is near $1.3420, and if breached, XRP could head lower toward $1.3320. Any further losses might result in test of the $1.320 threshold.
