Ripple in a Downward Correction, Battles Resistance at $0.38

About 48 hours, Ripple plunged to $0.21 low as bulls failed to breach the $0.60 resistance. With this breakdown, Ripple is in the bearish trend zone.

The bulls have an uphill task to resume the upside momentum as the $0.50 price level has to be attained. Failure to attain the $0.50 support level will attract further selling pressure from the bears.     

Presently, Ripple is making an upward move. The altcoin found support above $0.21 as the price pulled back above $0.24 high. After consolidation above the $0.24 support, the upward move has resumed. On the upside, if the bulls push XRP above $0.50, the crypto will continue with the upward move. On the other hand, a downward move will resume if the coin faces rejection. Ripple is trading at $0.37 at the time of writing.
