XRP Price Stalls Again, Can Bulls Overcome Crucial Hurdles?

XRP price started a downside correction from the $1.4650 zone. The price is now consolidating and might aim for more gains if it stays above the $1.40 zone.

A high was formed at $1.4650 and the price started a downside correction. There was a move below $1.450 and $1.440. The price dipped below the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.3612 swing low to the $1.4650 high.

However, the bulls were active above $1.3850 and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.3612 swing low to the $1.4650 high. 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 $1.4250 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.440 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.

If XRP fails to clear the $1.4250 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 $1.3850 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.3850 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.3780. The next major support sits near the $1.3620 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.350. Any more losses might call for a test of $1.3320.
