Once considered as the most liquid cryptocurrency, Ripple is now struggling to hold ground on a genuine upward breakout. The sellers are dragging XRPUSD down as soon as the price reaches a suitable level.
Other cryptos such as ETHUSD, USDTUSD are not showing as weak signs as Ripple. The trading volumes for Ripple are much lesser than the average quantity.
The cause of Ripple’s downfall
On April 30, XRPUSD formed a high of $0.236. After that significant rise, XRPUSD started declining steadily. Then it suffered a massive drop on May 10 and another one on June 3.
These drops made many risk-averse investors stay away from Ripple. Gradually several more investors moved towards Ethereum and Bitcoin. It caused a decrease in the number of investors who were earlier bullish on XRPUSD.
