XRP Price Holds Support

XRP price remained supported above $1.4180 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to climb above $1.4250 and $1.4320 to enter a short-term positive zone.

There was also a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.4876 swing high to the $1.4185 swing low. However, the bears could be active near the $1.4550 zone. Besides, there is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at 1.4620 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The price is now trading above $1.4350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.4550 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.4610 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.4876 swing high to the $1.4185 swing low.

A close above $1.4610 could send the price to $1.480. The next hurdle sits at $1.4880. A clear move above the $1.4880 resistance might send the price toward the $1.50 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.520 resistance.

Another Drop?

If XRP fails to clear the $1.4620 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.440 level. The next major support is near the $1.4320 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.4320 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.4180. The next major support sits near the $1.4050 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.3880.
