Vera YurinaXRP takes a hit
Piers Morgan’s catchphrase “One day you’re cock of the walk, the next you’re a feather duster” is very relatable to the cryptocurrency market. After stagnating for weeks, the price of XRP suddenly surged by more than 43 percent USD-wise on May 14-15 once Coinbase opened up trading in New York. XRP was the best-performing cryptocurrency in the top 10, but the rally didn’t last long.
On May 17, XRP recorded an intraday low of $0.359 after its price tanked by more than 25 percent. All major altcoins collectively took a hammering on Friday after the Bitcoin price suddenly experienced a 20 percent drop, which was allegedly caused by market manipulations.

The blow was too hard for XRP to rebound. At the time of writing, it is trading at $0.369 after yet another 3.32 percent price decrease over the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Now, XRP is facing its make-it-or-break-it moment. If its price breaks below the $0.340 level, things could turn ugly for Ripple’s native token with its next downward target being significantly lower. Trading expert Peter Brandt earlier suggested that a huge price drop would be almost inevitable if that’s the case.
