Ripple Shows Sign of Strength as It Attempts to Break the Resistance at $0.50

Following the recent breakdown, the XRP price corrected upward but the uptrend was repelled at the $0.50 high. The altcoin resumed a downward move as a result of the resistance.

On the downside, if sellers push the price and it breaks the previous support, the selling pressure is likely to resume. Consequently, XRP may further decline to a $0.25 low. On the other hand, if the bears fail to break the support at $0.36 low, then we should expect XRP to be in range bound movement between $0.36 and $0.50. Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency is trading at $0.45 at the time of writing. Nevertheless, if the bulls break above the $0.50 resistance, the altcoin will resume upside momentum.
