Along with Bitcoin<\/a>, Ethereum, and the rest of the crypto market, XRP has taken a significant hit during the last 48 hours of carnage.<\/p>\n Ripple has since plunged by over 20% from its recent peak, but a bearish divergence forming could be a prelude to substantial downside ahead.<\/p>\n The total crypto market cap within the last 48 hours had over $50 billion in value wiped out<\/a> from the massive 2020 rally that at the peak saw an over 100% increase year-to-date.<\/p>\n But that high may be in for the year for several top crypto assets, including XRP<\/a>, which has fallen over 20% in the last 48 hours alongside other majors like Bitcoin and Ethereum.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Bitcoin Breaks Below $11,000, How Deep Will The Selloff Go?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The altcoin known as Ripple has had one of the worst runs in crypto since its all-time high was set at over $3.50 per token. It spent the last two years as the market’s worst performer, yet somehow has held on to one of the top-most ranks in the space.<\/p>\n A short spat with Tether resulted in some flip-flopping<\/a> between number three and number four, but Tether’s dominance could increase a lot more if massive bearish divergence plays out on XRPUSD price charts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Several signs pointed to a new bull market in crypto and a strong recovery in XRP<\/a>. The altcoin was a top-performing asset for the first time in ages, taking the asset from Black Thursday lows around ten cents to as high as over 30 cents at the 2020 high.<\/p>\n Except unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum that set new 2020 highs following the Black Thursday low, XRP still has been trading far below the early February 2020 high.<\/p>\n While the price failed to set a higher high, the Relative Strength Index, however, did. This sort of behavior when an indicator and price action diverge, is called a hidden bearish divergence.<\/p>\nXRP Falls 20% In Two Days, Is The High For 2020 Already In?<\/h2>\n
