The price declined below $1.420 and $1.4150 to enter a short-term bearish zone.<\/p>\n<p>The price even extended losses below $1.40. A low was formed at $1.3816, and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor upward move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.5120 swing high to the $1.3816 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 $1.4320 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.450 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1.5120 swing high to the $1.3816 low.<\/p>\n<p>The main resistance could be $1.4620. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.4620 on the hourly chart of the XRP\/USD pair. A close above $1.4620 could send the price to $1.480.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/XRP_Price_68ccc1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-882938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/XRP_Price_68ccc1.png?resize=1024%2C509\" alt=\"XRP Price\" width=\"1024\" height=\"509\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The next hurdle sits at $1.50. A clear move above the $1.50 resistance might send the price toward the $1.5320 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.550 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $1.5650.<\/p>\n<h2>Downside Continuation?<\/h2>\n<p>If XRP fails to clear the $1.4620 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.3980 level. The next major support is near the $1.3850 level.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.3850 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.3620.
