XRP Price Analysis:

Analyzing the hourly XRP/USD movement on Coinbase, we see that the coin forms a rising wedge as it hits a daily bottom at $0.268. The persistent bullish trade of Ripple price above $0.30 loses the traction and turns bearish as there happened to be a “death crossover,” i.e., 200-day MA crossed above the daily 50-day MA. The rising trend that was observed since the start of the year takes a halt as the market pulls back again. This lays a varying impact on trading volume and a market cap of the coin as the selling pressure intensifies.

However, we can consider this as a usual correction as the market is deemed to rise after the “golden crossover” of Bitcoin, after which it has also retested resistance at $10,500. Therefore, the current consolidation is anticipated to be temporary. You can check out our Ripple Predictions by experts to know furthermore about Ripple’s future market.
