Ripple Price Decline
There was no substantial recovery in Ripple price yesterday as it failed to move above the $0.7500 resistance area against the US Dollar. The price traded lower and it recently broke the $0.7000 support level. More importantly, there was a break below the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.6040 low to $0.9680 high. It opened the doors for more losses and the price moved below the $0.6000 swing low.
It seems like the price is under a lot of pressure and it could extend declines below $0.5500. The next major support is around the 1.236 Fib extension of the last wave from the $0.6040 low to $0.9680 high at $0.5181. However, there are high chances of XRP retesting the $0.5000 support area in the near term. On the upside, there is a crucial bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.6200 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. If the pair corrects higher, it could face sellers near $0.6200 and $0.6500.
Above $0.6500, there could be a recovery towards $0.8000. The overall bias is bearish in the short term and the price is likely to test $0.5000 in the near term.

useless analysis
for me, the programs that make purchases and sales of currencies automatically, in part, are responsible for the high and low values.
In the same way that lowered the values now will make that climb in 3 days.
