Ripple (XRP) Price Long-Term Forecast: Fluctuation Range

XRP price got stuck below the 21-day moving average line. Buyers failed to sustain the bullish momentum above the 21-day moving average line. The recent high is considered an overbought area of the market. Bears have been selling in the overbought region of the market since May 13. 

The cryptocurrency will decline and move again in a range between $0.38 and $0.45 if it does not break the current resistance. If the bears break the $0.38 support to the downside, the market will fall back to the previous low at $0.33. On the upside, a strong rise above $0.38 will break the initial resistance and rally above the moving averages.
