XRP (XRP) reclaimed the $1.40 level after finding support near $1.3680 and broke above a bearish trend line on the hourly chart, with Kraken data showing the token now consolidating just above $1.4050 as traders watch the $1.420 resistance for confirmation of a broader recovery.
What Happened: XRP Reclaims $1.40
The token bounced from its $1.3668 low and climbed past $1.3950 and then $1.40, moving back above the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It also cleared the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the decline from the $1.4423 swing high.
Buyers pushed through a bearish trend line that had capped gains at $1.380 on the XRP/USD hourly chart.
The advance stalled near $1.4140, which aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of that same downward move.
A sustained close above $1.420 would open the path to $1.4295 and potentially $1.4420. Failure to clear that zone could send the price back toward $1.3920 and $1.3840, with a break below those levels exposing the $1.350 area.
The hourly MACD is gaining pace in bullish territory, and the RSI sits above 50. The recovery mirrors similar upward moves in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Why It Matters: Key Resistance Ahead
The $1.420 level is the line that separates a consolidation phase from a genuine breakout attempt. If XRP settles above it, the next targets sit at $1.4295 and $1.4420, with $1.4650 and $1.50 further out.
On the downside, losing $1.3840 would shift momentum back to sellers and put the $1.3680 support and ultimately $1.3120 in play. The trend line break and favorable technical indicators suggest the short-term bias leans higher, but the token needs to clear $1.420 to confirm it.
