There was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $1.4580 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The bulls even pumped the price toward the $1.520 zone. A high was formed at $1.5496, and the price started a consolidation phase.

Downside Correction?

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.4640 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.450. The next major support sits near the $1.4350 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.4120. The main support could be $1.4050.
