XRP Price Faces Hurdles
XRP price started a recovery wave above $1.380 and $1.40, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price gained pace for a clear move above the $1.450 resistance.
The bulls even pumped the price above the $1.50 zone. A high was formed at $1.5435 and the price started a consolidation phase. There was a drop below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.135 swing low to the $1.543 high.
The price is now trading above $1.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a declining channel forming with support at $1.350 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.450 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.50 level, above which the price could rise and test $1.5450. A clear move above the $1.5450 resistance might send the price toward the $1.650 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.720 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $1.80.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $1.50 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.40 level. The next major support is near the $1.340 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.135 swing low to the $1.543 high.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.340 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.30. The next major support sits near the $1.250 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.20.
