XRP Price Dips Below $1.280

XRP price failed to stay above $1.320 and extended its decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below $1.3050 and $1.30 to enter a short-term bearish zone.

The price even extended losses below $1.2880. A low was formed at $1.2752, and the price is now consolidating losses well below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.3642 swing high to the $1.2752 low.

The price is now trading below $1.2880 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh recovery move, the price might face resistance near the $1.2920 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.2960 level. The main resistance could be $1.3150 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.3638 swing high to the $1.2677 low at $1.320.

A close above $1.320 could send the price to $1.3275. The next hurdle sits at $1.340. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.340 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. A clear move above the $1.340 resistance might send the price toward the $1.3550 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.3750 resistance.

More Losses?

If XRP fails to clear the $1.3150 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.2750 level. The next major support is near the $1.2550 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.2550 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.2320. The next major support sits near the $1.220 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.20.
