Ripple Price Analysis
After a rejection near the $0.3790 level, ripple price corrected lower against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair declined below the $0.3700 and $0.3600 levels. Later, the price bounced back and made a few attempts to gain strength above the $0.3700 and $0.3740 resistance levels. However, buyers failed and the price dived below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from $0.3255 swing low to $0.3790 high. There was also a break below the $0.3550 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

At the moment, the price is flirting with the $0.3480 support and remains at a risk of more losses. If there is a downside break and close below $0.3480, then the price might extend its decline. The next stop could be near the $0.3380 level.
