The drop on Wednesday started after the price slipped below the 50 SMA and the 100 SMA 1-hour. The bears increased their grip on the price sending XRP below $0.3000 but the buyers defended the support at $0.2900 allowing XRP to form a short-term low at $2934.
The upside correction that occurred from the support stepped above $0.3000 but lost steam at the 50 SMA leading to a reversal below $0.3100. Towards the close of the session on Thursday, investors on the market reacted to news involving Bitfinex and Tether (USDT). Ripple, alongside other cryptocurrencies, broke down again with XRP exploring the levels below $0.2900 before forming a low at $0.2824.
