Ripple Price Decline
There was a recovery initiated from the $2.15 swing low in Ripple price against the US Dollar. The price recovered above the $2.30 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $3.35 high to $2.15 low.

Moreover, the price failed to break the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $3.35 high to $2.15 low. There was a fresh downside wave initiated from the $2.80 swing high. During the downside, there was a break below a connecting bullish trend line with support at $2.70 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair is now struggling to recover and is currently below $2.60 and the 100 hourly SMA.
