The bears are now testing the 300 threshold, as the coin loses 4.90% so far this Sunday. The downside is seen opening up towards 290 region (lows seen on Friday and Saturday).
- Tracking the sell-off in the top two cryptocurrencies, Ripple (XRP) followed suit and eroded nearly 4% of its value to reach daily lows of 0.4066. The third largest coin now trades at 0.4094, looking vulnerable below the 0.4000 handle. The current market capitalization of the coin is seen at $17.64 billion.
- Litecoin (LTC/USD): The bulls gave into the broader market sell-off, as the fourth most widely traded cryptocurrency invalidated the flag pattern and fell to 126.46 lows before reversing sharply to 137 levels. Over the last hour, the digital currency met fresh supply and fell back to near 130 region, witnessing a roller coaster ride on the last day of the week/ month.
