XRP Price Extends Its Rally
XRP price started a decent upward move above $1.420 and $1.4320, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price gained pace for a clear move above the $1.450 resistance.
The bulls even pumped the price toward the $1.4750 zone. A high was formed at $1.4798 and the price started a consolidation phase above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.3855 swing low to the $1.4798 high.
The price is now trading above $1.4550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.480 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.4850 level, above which the price could rise and test $1.50.
A clear move above the $1.50 resistance might send the price toward the $1.5250 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.5320 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $1.550.
Downside Correction?
If XRP fails to clear the $1.480 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.450 level. The next major support is near the $1.4325 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.3855 swing low to the $1.4798 high.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.4325 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.420. The next major support sits near the $1.410 zone and the trend line, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.3880. The main support could be $1.3680.
