Moreover, the price failed to hold the key $0.3250 support level. As a result, there was a bearish break below $0.3250 and $0.3240. The price traded below the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upside move from the $0.3100 swing low to $0.3418 high. Additionally, yesterday’s highlighted major bullish trend line was breached with support at $0.3260 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

Therefore, there is a risk of more losses below the $0.3150 support level. The next support is near the $0.3100 level, below which the price could decline towards the main $0.3000 support area.
On the upside, the recent supports near $0.3250 might act as a resistance. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.3225 on the same chart.
