XRP price failed to surpass $1.50 and started another decline. The price is 
now correcting gains and might find strong bids near $1.340. XRP price started 
a downside correction and declined below $1.420. The price is now trading 
below $1.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a declining 
channel forming with resistance at $1.4050 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD 
pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start another increase if it 
stays above $1.3320. XRP Price Holds Support XRP price failed to stay above 
$1.50 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price 
dipped below the $1.450 and $1.420 levels to enter a negative zone. The price 
even dipped below the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 
$1.1356 swing low to the $1.5435 high. However, the bulls remained active near 
the $1.340 zone. Besides, there is a declining channel forming with resistance 
at $1.4050 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading 
below $1.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh 
upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.40 level. The first 
major resistance is near the $1.4050 level, above which the price could rise 
and test $1.4650. A clear move above the $1.4650 resistance might send the 
price toward the $1.50 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward 
the $1.5250 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near 
$1.550. More Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $1.4050 resistance zone, it 
could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the 
$1.3380 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 
$1.1356 swing low to the $1.5435 high. The next major support is near the 
$1.2920 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.2920 
level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.250. The next major 
support sits near the $1.2320 zone, below which the price could continue lower 
toward $1.2150. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now 
gaining pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The 
RSI for XRP/USD is now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $1.3380 and 
$1.2920. Major Resistance Levels – $1.4050 and $1.450.
