The price declined below $1.520 and $1.50 to enter a short-term bearish zone.<\/p>\n<p>The price even extended losses below $1.450. A low was formed at $1.4264, and the price is now consolidating losses.

If there is a fresh recovery move, the price might face resistance near the $1.490 level.

A clear move above the $1.550 resistance might send the price toward the $1.5850 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.620 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $1.650.<\/p>\n<h2>Another Drop?<\/h2>\n<p>If XRP fails to clear the $1.50 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline.

The next major support is near the $1.4250 level.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.4250 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.40.
