Ripple Fluctuates Between $0.59 and $0.62 as Bearish Momentum Wears Off

Ripple's (XRP) downside move appears to have subsided as price consolidates above $0.59 support. Bears have retested $0.59 support on three occasions, while bulls have bought the dips. Crypto upside has been restricted below $0.62 resistance.

XRP price correction was repelled twice at the recent high. Last week, XRP/USD traded between $0.59 and $0.62. This week, if the range-bound levels remain unbroken, the XRP price will continue to fluctuate between $0.59 and $0.62.

Today, the altcoin is falling after testing $0.62 resistance. A break above the resistance would have catapulted the cryptocurrency to the high of $0.75. The bulls' failure to break the recent resistance will force XRP to revisit the next support at $0.59. Nonetheless, the bulls defended this crucial support last week. Ripple's chances of an upside move are good if the bulls defend the $0.59 support. However, if the bulls overcome the crucial support, XRP will drop low to $0.50.
