Ripple Trades Marginally above $0.40 as It Risks Decline to $0.33

The price of Ripple (XRP) is in a downward correction as it has fallen to the low of $0.40. The XRP price could retake the previous low at $0.33 if buyers fail to keep the price above the 21-day line SMA.

On May 31, the bulls broke through the moving average line but failed to maintain upward momentum above the recent high. XRP could have reached the 50-day line SMA or the high of $0.60. Today, XRP falls below the moving average of the blue line.

However, if the support at $0.37 holds, the XRP price could rise again. The resulting upward momentum will break the 21-day line SMA and rally to the 50-day line SMA.
