XRP Price Faces Resistance
XRP price failed to stay above $1.650 and extended its decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below $1.620 and $1.60 to enter a short-term bearish zone.
The price even spiked below $1.520. A low was formed at $1.50, and the price is now attempting to recover. There was a move above the $1.5750 level. The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.9388 swing high to the $1.50 low.
The price is now trading below $1.620 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.620 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.6150 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
The first major resistance is near the $1.650 level. A close above $1.650 could send the price to $1.720 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.9388 swing high to the $1.50 low. The next hurdle sits at $1.750. A clear move above the $1.750 resistance might send the price toward the $1.780 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.80 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $1.825.
Another Drop?
If XRP fails to clear the $1.650 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.5760 level. The next major support is near the $1.550 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.550 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.5250. The next major support sits near the $1.50 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.4650.
