The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.5099 swing high to $0.3200 low is also near $0.415.

Dips Supported?
If ripple fails to clear the $0.380 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $0.3400 level.
The main support could be near the $0.3200 level or the $0.3000 zone. If the price fails to stay above $0.3000, it could start another major decline.
