Ripple Price Turns Bearish

An initial resistance is near the broken channel support and the $0.2460 level. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.2588 high to $0.2345 low is sitting near the $0.2465 level to act as a major hurdle for the bulls.
Therefore, the bulls need to push the price above the $0.2465 and $0.2500 levels to start a decent recovery. The next key resistance is near the $0.2700 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
More Losses?
If ripple fails to correct above the $0.2450 and $0.2465 resistance levels, it could continue to move down. An initial support is near the $0.2380 and $0.2365 levels.
A successful break and close below the $0.2345 swing low is likely to accelerate decline. In the mentioned case, ripple price could decline heavily and trade towards the $0.2200 support level in the near term.
