XRP price remained stable near the $0.5650 level and attempted more gains. However, it failed to clear the $0.5850 resistance and started another decline like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

There was a move below the $0.580 and $0.5750 levels. The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.5457 swing low to the $0.5835 high. Besides, there was a break below a key rising channel with support at $0.5745 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

On the upside, the price is facing hurdles near the $0.5750 level. The first major resistance is near the $0.580 level. The next key resistance could be $0.5850. A clear move above the $0.5850 resistance might send the price toward the $0.60 resistance. The next major resistance is near the $0.6150 level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.6250 resistance or even $0.6320 in the near term.

If XRP fails to clear the $0.580 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.5650 level. The next major support is at $0.560.
