Ripple Has Continued to Decline; Here’s Why

Ripple has failed to sustain its uptrend after the previous decline on August 2. In that case, XRP fell to $0.27. Thereafter, buyers responded to resuscitate XRP by pushing the price upward.

Eventually, Ripple was repelled as the market dropped again to $0.30 support. The market took a breath for three days as the crypto consolidated above the $0.30 support. Buyers and sellers were tussling for the price above $0.30 before the recent decline to $0.28 low but the price corrected above $0.29.

The recent decline is attributed to the general correlated nature of the cryptocurrency market. At the time of writing the cryptocurrency market is facing selling pressure. Bitcoin is sliding back to $11,000.It is unlikely for Ripple to continue its recent surge. Today, XRP is trading above the $0.28 support as the price continues to move up. The crypto will retest the $0.32 high if the coin rebounds. Conversely, if the bears break the current support, XRP risks further downtrend.
