Ripple price action has seen steady bearish momentum over the last week. After a slightly lower local high was set on Monday, XRP/USD began to consolidate above $0.40 major support.

On Thursday, a break lower eventually followed, leading to a new local low being reached at $0.38. Retracement to retest previous support at $0.40 as resistance was seen late yesterday, indicating that another lower high is set.

Since further upside quickly got rejected, we expect Ripple price to pivot lower again. Likely the $0.38 local low will soon be broken and Ripple will continue to decline over the rest of the weekend.

Ripple price analysis: Conclusion 

Ripple price analysis is bearish today as we have seen further decline and test of previous local low at $0.38. Therefore, XRP/USD should break even lower and resume its way to the $0.34 major swing low.
