XRP Price Holds Support

XRP price struggled to stay above $1.3720 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price dipped below the $1.3620 and $1.3600 levels.

The price declined below $1.3550 and even spiked below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.30 swing low to the $1.3740 high. Besides, there is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.360 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The price is now trading below $1.3520 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.350 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.3560 level, above which the price could rise and test $1.360.

A clear move above the $1.360 resistance might send the price toward the $1.3720 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.3750 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $1.380.

Downside Extension?

If XRP fails to clear the $1.360 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.330 level. The next major support is near the $1.3280 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.30 swing low to the $1.3740 high.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.3280 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.3175. The next major support sits near the $1.3120 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.3050. Any more losses might call for a test of $1.30.
