XRP falls 3% as breakdown below $1.44 and bitcoin weakness caps recovery

Traders are watching support near $1.40 as repeated failures below $1.60 reinforce broader downtrend. What to know : XRP fell about 2.6 percent to roughly $1.41 after a late-session break below $1.44 support, with selling volume more than triple the daily average.
