It also traded below the $1.0750 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

There was no hourly close above the $1.10 level, which ignited a downside wave. At the moment, there is a major contracting triangle pattern forming with resistance at $1.0700 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair is approaching a short-term break either above $1.0700 or below $1.0400. On the upside, above $1.0700, the price could test the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 1.1510 swing high to $1.0050 swing low at $1.0945.
