XRP price failed to surpass $1.50 and started downside correction. The price 
is now holding the $1.380 support and might aim for another increase. XRP 
price started a downside correction and declined below $1.450. The price is 
now trading above $1.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a 
new bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.410 on the hourly chart 
of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start another 
increase if it stays above $1.380. XRP Price Rally Cools XRP price failed to 
stay above $1.480 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin and 
Ethereum. The price dipped below the $1.460 and $1.450 levels to enter a 
negative zone. The price even dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of 
the upward move from the $1.3125 swing low to the $1.4936 high. Besides, there 
is a new bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.410 on the hourly 
chart of the XRP/USD pair. The bulls are now active above the $1.380 zone. The 
price is now trading above $1.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If 
there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.410 
level and the trend line. The first major resistance is near the $1.420 level, 
above which the price could rise and test $1.450. A clear move above the 
$1.450 resistance might send the price toward the $1.50 resistance. Any more 
gains might send the price toward the $1.520 resistance. The next major hurdle 
for the bulls might be near $1.550. Downside Continuation? If XRP fails to 
clear the $1.410 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial 
support on the downside is near the $1.40 level. The next major support is 
near the $1.3820 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move 
from the $1.3125 swing low to the $1.4936 high. If there is a downside break 
and a close below the $1.3820 level, the price might continue to decline 
toward $1.3430. The next major support sits near the $1.3250 zone, below which 
the price could continue lower toward $1.3120. Technical Indicators Hourly
