BREAKING: XRP just rejected the $1.5074 print and is grinding sideways above $1.440.

The token is holding the 100-hourly SMA. Bulls still have the wheel — for now.

JUST IN: A bullish trend line is forming on the hourly XRP/USD chart with support pinned at $1.4420.

The first key flip is $1.4620. Clear that, and traders are eyeing $1.4770 next.

XRP outpaced both Bitcoin and Ethereum on the way up, pushing through $1.4250 and $1.450 before stalling.

The retreat dragged price under the 38.2% Fib of the move from the $1.3786 swing low to the $1.5074 swing high.

KEY LEVELS — RESISTANCE: $1.4620, $1.4770, $1.5050, $1.520, $1.550.

KEY LEVELS — SUPPORT: $1.4420, $1.4280, $1.4120, $1.40, $1.3850.

Hourly MACD is creeping back into the bearish zone. Not a kill shot — but a warning.

Hourly RSI is sitting above 50. Buyers still have a pulse.

The setup: if XRP defends $1.4420 and reclaims $1.4620, the next push targets $1.5050 and a retest of the breakout high.

The risk: a clean break below $1.4280 opens the door to $1.4120, then a flush toward $1.40.

Below $1.40, the 61.8% Fib at the trend line gives way. Bears would then chase $1.3850 and $1.3650.

Volume context: the move from $1.3786 to $1.5074 was the cleanest XRP rally in weeks. Today's pause looks like a higher low forming — not a top.

Traders watching the $1.4580 micro-resistance for the first tell on direction.

Bottom line: XRP is coiled. The trend line at $1.4420 is the line in the sand.

Hold it, and bulls get another swing at $1.55. Lose it, and the rally narrative cracks.

Eyes on the tape.
