XRP price extended losses and traded below $1.40. The price is now consolidating losses and faces hurdles near $1.3980 and $1.4050.

• XRP price started another decline and traded below the $1.40 zone.
• The price is now trading below $1.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
• There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.3920 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
• The pair could continue to move down if it stays below $1.40.

XRP Price Dips Further

XRP price failed to stay above $1.4120 and extended its decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below $1.4050 and $1.40 to enter a short-term bearish zone.

The price even extended losses below $1.3880. A low was formed at $1.380, and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.4570 swing high to the $1.3800 low.

The price is now trading below $1.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh recovery move, the price might face resistance near the $1.3920 level. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.3920 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The first major resistance is near the $1.40 level. The main resistance could be $1.4095. A close above $1.4095 could send the price to $1.4180 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.4570 swing high to the $1.3800 low.

The next hurdle sits at $1.4250. A clear move above the $1.4250 resistance might send the price toward the $1.450 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.4650 resistance.

Another Decline?

If XRP fails to clear the $1.40 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.380 level. The next major support is near the $1.3680 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.3680 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.350. The next major support sits near the $1.3320 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.320.
