In the last week, both the altcoins are witnessing quite turbulent prices where ETH has traded much below its major support levels such as $300 and $250. In fact today, the coin is even approaching lows below $200.

Yesterday, XRP gave some positive signs when it maintained stability above $0.31 for quite a while. Although later, the price saw a major drop and now the coin is struggling for recovery.
