  • XRP price started a downside correction after it failed to clear the $1.4550 zone.
  • The price is now trading near $1.4080 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

XRP Price Dips Again

Similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP’s price began to rise, breaking past the $1.3850 and $1.4150 levels. It then gained momentum, successfully moving above the $1.4220 resistance point.

The price initially reached a high of $1.4570 before starting to fall. It then broke below $1.4320 and $1.420. This decline took the price below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level, measured from the recent low of $1.3460 to the high of $1.4570.

The price of XRP is currently around $1.4080, close to its 100-hour moving average. A positive trend line is also developing, offering support around $1.4050 on the hourly chart.

If the price starts to rise, it could encounter some resistance around $1.42. A stronger move past $1.4220 could lead to a test of $1.4350. Breaking through $1.4350 might then push the price towards $1.4550, with potential for further gains up to $1.4620. A significant challenge for buyers likely lies near $1.4840.

Another Drop?

If XRP doesn’t break past the $1.4220 resistance level, its price might start to fall. It could initially find support around $1.3050. A stronger support level exists near $1.40, which also coincides with a trend line and the 50% retracement of the recent price swing between $1.3460 and $1.4570.

If the price falls below $1.40, it could continue dropping, potentially reaching $1.3820. Further declines might find support around $1.3620, but breaking through that could lead to $1.350. If losses continue beyond that point, the price might test the $1.3320 level.
