Ripple Retraces to $0.86 Support as the Altcoin Targets $1.30 High

The price of Ripple (XRP) has retreated from the high at $1.00 today, finding support above the low at $0.86.

In the recent uptrend, buyers have been unable to sustain bullish momentum above the 50-day moving average line. Rather, the XRP price is falling and finding support above the 21-day moving average line. 

The cryptocurrency will likely continue to fluctuate between the moving averages for a few more days. If buyers break above resistance at $1.00, XRP will rise to a high at $1.30. On the other hand, if the bears break below the current support, the altcoin will fall back to the previous low at $0.76. XRP/USD is now moving above current support for a possible upside move. At press time, Ripple is trading at $0.88 after a small retracement.
