XRP price has come under intense pressure in the past few days as the recent crypto comeback started fading. Ripple dropped to a low of $0.4384, which is about 21% below the highest point this month, meaning it has moved to a bear market. 

XRP price is falling because of its close correlation with Bitcoin, the biggest cryptocurrency in the world. In most periods, altcoins like XRP and ADA tend to rise when Bitcoin is rising and vice versa. Therefore, since there have been no major Ripple news, we can cite the recent decline to the overall decline of BTC. 

This price also mirrors the performance of American stocks. The Nasdaq 100 index has moved sideways in the past few days and is about 1.78% below the highest point this month. In most periods, cryptocurrencies also have a correlation with American stocks.

The next key Ripple news to watch will be the upcoming verdict in the ongoing civil lawsuit by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC alleges that Ripple violated securities laws when it sold XRP to investors without registering with the agency.

It is still unclear when the judge will deliver the court’s verdict. It is also unclear how XRP will react to the verdict. However, I believe that the end of the case will be positive for Ripple because I suspect that the outcome will be a fine or an exoneration.

Meanwhile, Ripple recently launched the Ripple Liquidity Hub as it seeks to provide more solutions to businesses. The service is making it possible for businesses to access simple and seamless ways to manage liquidity needs. It is also enabling people to manage fiat, cryptocurrencies, and CBDCs among others.

The 4H chart shows that the Ripple price has dropped sharply after hitting the key resistance point at $0.5826 on March 29. The coin has flipped the key level at $0.5568 from a support into a resistance. It has moved to the 25-day and 50-day exponential moving averages. Ripple has moved slightly above the key support at $0.4326, the highest point on January 22. 

It has also formed a small bearish pennant pattern. Therefore, for now, there is a likelihood that the coin will have a bearish breakout as sellers target the key support level at $0.400, which is about 12% below the current level.
