Decline of decline
Recently, we were waiting for a downward correction towards the $ 0.3200 level in Ripple's price against the US dollar. The XRP / USD was traded lower and tested the $ 0.3200 support area. However, it appears that buyers have failed to maintain the support of $ 0.3200, which results in further decreases. There was a strong downward movement and the price fell more than 15% below the $ 0.3000 level.
During the decline, the declining channel followed by this week was surpassed with support close to $ 0.3230 on the hourly chart of the XRP / USD pair. The pair even broke the $ 0.2800 support and settled below the simple 100-hour moving average. It traded at $ 0.2672 and currently corrects higher. It exceeded the fiber retracement level of 23.6% from the last decline, from $ 0.3397 to $ 0.2672 minimum. However, there are many upside obstacles near the levels of $ 0.2900 and $ 0.3000. Over $ 0.3000, the price could test the 50% retracement level of the last decline, from $ 0.3397 to $ 0.2672 to $ 0.3034.
