Ripple Corrects Upward, But Struggles Below High Of $0.47

The Ripple (XRP) price, which has crossed the 21-day moving average line, is in an upward correction.

Long-term forecast for the Ripple price: bullish

The cryptocurrency asset is currently trapped between the moving average lines while trading in the bullish trend zone. On the upside, the $0.47 resistance area marked the end of the positive momentum. Since May 18, buyers have retested the resistance area four times but have been rejected each time. Further growth in the cryptocurrency is unlikely as the market moves into the overbought zone. XRP is trading for $0.46 at the time of writing. Although XRP's downtrend has reversed, it is still constrained by the moving average lines. The cryptocurrency will be forced to move in a range as long as it is between the moving average lines. XRP will perform when the moving average lines cross. For example, the current rise could continue if buyers keep the price above the 50-day line SMA or the resistance at $0.47. The cost of XRP will increase and reach a peak between $0.50 and $0.55.
