However, when things just seemed to be going smoothly, the Ripple “decided” to take a break and pull back. It was not just a small pull back since at the moment, its value is still declining and investors are starting to get worried.

A token of the Ripple (XRP) is now going for $1.85, just a week after the coin had reached its all-time high of $3.49. This represents a 46.99% drop, which is such a great drop considering it is within a week.

But, what had really caused the surge in Ripple prices?

Before starting to panic, investors should first understand what had caused the surge and later the fall in the XRP market prices. This would help in knowing how to handle the coin.

Before 8th January, the prices of the Ripple coin were on a strong bullish trend. The coin seemed to have found its call in the cryptocurrency markets!

The drop in the market prices is allegedly due to the decision of CoinMarketCap to de-list the coin from the Korean exchange platform on 8th.

On that specific day, the market shares dropped to $103 billion from $123 billion signifying a drop of a staggering $20 billion. And that same day the prices of the XRP coin also dropped the previous’ day $3.09 to $2.67 which was a huge decline occurring just in a couple of hours.

Also, for the technical analysts, a closer look would indicate that the market was anticipating a pullback due to the formation of the Hammer candlesticks.  If you look at the market closely, you will realize there are several hammers which formed but the market only pulled back a little before continuing with the bullish trend. This indicates that there was also some forces from the market participant to push it down may be due to being over bought. Combining this with the announcement on 8th January, Ripple (XRP) could not hold any longer; it had to give in.

And as it stands, investors will have to brace for a bit more drop in prices for the short term period before the coin absorbs the shock to regain its bullish trend.
