Ripple price failed to continue higher and declined sharply against the US Dollar and bitcoin<\/a>. XRP is currently under pressure and it seems like the bulls may struggle to hold $0.4000.<\/em><\/p>\n In the past few days, there was a steady rise in ripple price above the $0.4200 and $0.4380 resistance against the US Dollar. The XRP\/USD pair even broke the $0.4500 resistance and settled above 100 hourly simple moving average<\/a>. Finally, there was a push above the $0.4610 level. However, the price failed to stay above the $0.4600 level and there was a major bearish reaction. The price declined heavily and broke the key $0.4500 and $0.4440 support levels.<\/p>\n During the decline, there was a break below a major ascending channel with support at $0.4380 on the hourly chart of the XRP\/USD pair. The pair even broke the $0.4200 support area and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Finally, there was a spike below the $0.4000 level and the price traded as low as $0.3964. At the moment, the price is correcting above $0.4100 and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.4646 high to $0.3964 low. On the upside, there are many hurdles for the bulls near the $0.4300 level. The broken trend line support near $0.4320 and the 100 hourly SMA could prevent upsides.<\/p>\n Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.4646 high to $0.3964 low is also near the $0.4305 level to act as a resistance. Therefore, if there is an upside correction, the price could struggle near the $0.4300 level. A successful close above $0.4320 and the 100 hourly SMA might start a fresh increase. If not, there is a risk of more losses below $0.4100 and $0.4000.<\/p>\nRipple Price Analysis<\/h2>\n
