After failing to hold above $1.60, XRP dropped below $1.550 and $1.520, reaching a low near $1.4437 before stabilizing. It has since recovered slightly above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent decline.
For any recovery to gain momentum, the price must overcome resistance near $1.5150 and $1.520. A sustained move above $1.520 could open the path toward $1.550, followed by hurdles near $1.5840 and $1.620.
