Ripple Is in a Deadlock as Bulls Battle the Resistance at $1.25

The price of Ripple (XRP) has continued its sideways movement as the cryptocurrency falls to a low of $1.19. The uptrend is hindered by resistance at $1.25.

Today, XRP has fallen back to the low of $1.19 due to rejection at $1.25. On November 3, XRP/USD fell back to a low of $1.14 as the bulls bought the dips. However, if the bears had undercut support at $1.00, the altcoin would have fallen to a low of $0.85. Since October 9, Ripple's uptrend has been at an impasse as the cryptocurrency has been trapped between the $1.00 and $1.20 levels. The uptrend will continue if the bulls break the resistance levels at $1.20 and $1.25. The market will rise and regain the previous high at $1.41.
