The price declined below $1.4250 and $1.420 to enter a short-term bearish zone.<\/p>\n<p>The price even extended losses below $1.40. A low was formed at $1.3630, and the price is now consolidating losses well below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.5496 swing high to the $1.3630 low.<\/p>\n<p>The price is now trading below $1.420 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 $1.3950 on the hourly chart of the XRP\/USD pair.<\/p>\n<p>The first major resistance is near the $1.40 level. The main resistance could be $1.4080. A close above $1.4080 could send the price to $1.4350. The next hurdle sits at $1.4550 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.5496 swing high to the $1.3630 low.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-896863\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/XRP_Price_51b80f.png?resize=1024%2C512\" alt=\"XRP Price \" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A clear move above the $1.4550 resistance might send the price toward the $1.4750 resistance.
