Ripple Slumps as Bulls Fail to Sustain the Recent Rallies

Ripple has resumed a downward move as a result of its recent rejection at the $0.285 high. Today, the coin is approaching the previous low at $0.27.

However, since January 12, Ripple has been stuck below the $0.31 resistance where buyers tried unsuccessfully to break the overhead resistance. After its decline from the recent high, the coin plunged to $0.26 low. 

The bulls bought the dips at the recent low as price corrected upward. Unfortunately, the upward correction was rejected at the $0.285 high. This implies a further downward movement of the coin is likely. On the downside, if XRP falls and breaks below the $0.26 support, the market will sink to a low above $0.16. Meanwhile, the altcoin has continued its fall.
