XRP price extended losses and traded below $1.40. The price is now consolidating losses and faces hurdles near $1.3980 and $1.40.
- XRP price started another decline and traded below the $1.40 zone.
- The price is now trading below $1.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
- There was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $1.3820 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
- The pair could continue to move down if it stays below $1.40.
XRP Price Dips Further
XRP price failed to stay above $1.4050 and extended its decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below $1.4020 and $1.40 to enter a short-term bearish zone.
The price even extended losses below $1.380. A low was formed at $1.3680, and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor recovery wave toward the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.4470 swing high to the $1.3680 low. Besides, there was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $1.3820 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
The price is now trading below $1.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh recovery move, the price might face resistance near the $1.3980 level.
The first major resistance is near the $1.4075 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.4470 swing high to the $1.3680 low. The main resistance could be $1.4170. A close above $1.4170 could send the price to $1.4220. The next hurdle sits at $1.4250. A clear move above the $1.4250 resistance might send the price toward the $1.450 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.4650 resistance.
More Losses?
If XRP fails to clear the $1.3980 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.3780 level. The next major support is near the $1.3680 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.3680 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.3550. The next major support sits near the $1.350 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.3220.
