Ripple's XRP Price Consolidation: Buyers Defend Key Support as Correction Continues
Ripple's XRP price has been consolidating after its August surge, unable to establish a clear direction. The asset is currently trading around $1.37, close to the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level at $1.34.
The daily chart shows a sequence of lower highs within a descending channel, with the upper trendline approaching the $1.40-$1.42 region and acting as dynamic resistance.
Buyers have been defending the near-term support area around $1.33-$1.34, but a breakdown could send XRP to the next important downside target at the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $1.26.
The 4-hour chart emphasizes the compression that has developed since the August peak, with XRP trading inside the descending channel. A breakout above the trendline would be a key indication that the correction is losing strength and could shift attention back toward $1.45 and eventually the higher resistance region.
