XRP Price Eyes Fresh Gains<\/h2>\n

XRP price remained supported above $1.350 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin<\/a> and Ethereum<\/a>. The price was able to climb above $1.3580 and $1.3620 to enter a short-term positive zone.<\/p>\n

However, the price is still below $1.3850 and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.5495 swing high to the $1.3465 swing low. There is also a contracting triangle forming with resistance at $1.380 on the hourly chart of the XRP\/USD pair.<\/p>\n

The price is now trading below $1.3750 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.3780 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.380 level.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A close above $1.380 could send the price to $1.3840. The next hurdle sits at $1.3940. A clear move above the $1.3940 resistance might send the price toward the $1.420 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.4480 resistance or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.5495 swing high to the $1.3465 swing low.<\/p>\n

Another Decline?<\/h2>\n

If XRP fails to clear the $1.3840 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.360 level. The next major support is near the $1.3580 level.<\/p>\n

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.3580 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.340. The next major support sits near the $1.3380 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.3250.<\/p>\n
