Ripple (XRP) price action has already printed 5% losses over the past two days as price action slips back below $0.48 in what turned out to be a bull trap. The week started on a high note, with strong earnings and stock markets rallying firmly higher. Unfortunately, reality kicked in again this morning as UK inflation numbers printed a new record high, putting pressure on the BoE to address the inflation with more aggressive rate hikes, which in turn could spark a severe recession as a massive wave of defaults  hits the already battered UK economy.
