XRP price started a downside correction from the $1.3740 zone. The price is 
now consolidating and might aim for another increase if it stays above the 
$1.320 zone. XRP price started a downside correction after it failed to stay 
above the $1.3620 zone. The price is now trading below $1.3580 and the 
100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bearish trend line forming with 
resistance at $1.360 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from 
Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it settles above $1.3620. 
XRP Price Holds Support XRP price struggled to stay above $1.3720 and started 
a fresh decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price dipped below the $1.3620 
and $1.3600 levels. The price declined below $1.3550 and even spiked below the 
50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.30 swing low to the 
$1.3740 high. Besides, there is a bearish trend line forming with resistance 
at $1.360 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading 
below $1.3520 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh 
upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.350 level. The first 
major resistance is near the $1.3560 level, above which the price could rise 
and test $1.360. A clear move above the $1.360 resistance might send the price 
toward the $1.3720 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the 
$1.3750 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $1.380. 
Downside Extension? If XRP fails to clear the $1.360 resistance zone, it could 
start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.330 
level. The next major support is near the $1.3280 level and the 61.8% Fib 
retracement level of the upward move from the $1.30 swing low to the $1.3740 
high. If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.3280 level, the 
price might continue to decline toward $1.3175. The next major support sits 
near the $1.3120 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward 
$1.3050. Any more losses might call for a test of $1.30. Technical Indicators 
Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone.
