Ripple Price Turns Red

There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2705 on the 4-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair. It seems like the previous resistance zone near the $0.2700 may now act as a strong selling zone in the coming sessions.
If there is an upside break above the trend line, ripple could recover towards the $0.2800 resistance level. The next key resistance is near the 100 simple moving average (4-hours) at $0.2880.
Fresh Decline in XRP?
If ripple fails to clear the $0.2675 and $0.2700 resistance levels, there is a risk of another bearish reaction. An initial support is near the $0.2620 level.
The main support is near the $0.2540 and $0.2520 levels, below which the price could dive towards $0.2440. More importantly, if XRP stays in a bearish zone below $0.2700, it could drag other altcoins lower in the near term.
