After the initial spike at $ 1.23, Ripple is bent to test support for the downtrend line before winding up. Withdrawal can be better seen in intraday charts rather than everyday. This is a classic bullish price increase, where a break occurs, followed by an advance and then a fallback to test for past resistance as a support before the ## EQU1 ## 39, continuous advance.
