Sharing a statistically significant positive correlation with Bitcoin [BTC], the price of Ripple’s XRP has been impacted by the price decline suffered by the king coin in the past seven days. Exchanging hands at $0.3422 at press time, the price per XRP dropped by 12% within that period. So far this month, the token has declined by 14%. This comes after XRP’s price rallied by over 15% in July. 

Impacted by the series of liquidations that hit the cryptocurrency market, XRP has suffered $1,586,572 in liquidations in the last 24 hours. The fall in the price of the token led to a decline in its trading volume. Standing at 1.32 billion at press time, XRP’s trading volume declined by 19% in the past 24 hours.

Also indicating a hike in selling pressure, the token’s Money Flow Index (MFI) was 39 at press time.
