Throughout 2019, XRP\u2019s price was driven lower by repeated occurrences of bear pennant chart patterns, however, one such instance the pattern broke upward, kicking off a short-lived rally. Ripple Ready For a Much Larger Drop Ahead? If XRP cannot hold current levels, it is at risk of making a much larger drop to historic levels not traded at since before the crypto mania peaked in late 2017. Following the peak, the crypto bubble popped and assets like XRP have been falling ever since. XRP\/USD price charts on daily timeframes show very little support remaining at current levels, with a zone between 13 and 15 cents per XRP acting as the last line of defense before bears have a chance of pushing the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap back to prices closer to a penny per XRP.
