XRP Price Revisits Support

XRP price struggled to clear the $0.4850 resistance and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The bears took control and pushed the price below the $0.470 support. There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $0.480 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The pair even declined heavily below the $0.4550 support level. However, the bulls protected the $0.4440 support level. A low was formed at $0.4439 and the price is now correcting losses. There was a recovery wave above the $0.4520 resistance.

The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.4878 swing high to the $0.4439 low. It is now trading below $0.4650 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $0.4620 level. The first major resistance is near the $0.4650 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.4878 swing high to the $0.4439 low. The next key resistance could be $0.4720.

A clear move above the $0.4720 resistance might send the price toward the $0.4850 resistance. The next major resistance is near the $0.500 level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.5250 resistance.

Another Decline?

If XRP fails to clear the $0.4650 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.4520 level.

The next major support is at $0.4440. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.4440 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $0.4320 support in the near term.
