XRP Price Extend Losses
XRP price failed to recover above the $0.4950 resistance like Ethereum and Bitcoin. The price started a fresh decline from the $0.4981 high. There was a move below the $0.4880 and $0.4850 levels.
The price declined below the $0.480 level. A low was formed at $0.4746 and the price is now consolidating losses. It is testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.4981 swing high to the $0.4746 low. The price is now trading below $0.4920 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
If the bulls protect the $0.4740 support, there might be an upside correction. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $0.4820 level. The first key resistance is near $0.4850 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.4981 swing high to the $0.4746 low.
There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.4880 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The next major resistance is near the $0.4950 level.

A close above the $0.4950 resistance zone could send the price higher. The next key resistance is near $0.5050. If there is a close above the $0.5050 resistance level, there could be a steady increase toward the $0.5250 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.5320 resistance.
More Downsides?
If XRP fails to clear the $0.4850 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.4740 level.
The next major support is at $0.470. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.470 level, the price might gain bearish momentum. In the stated case, the price could decline and retest the $0.450 support in the near term.
