Ripple Struggles to Break above $0.45, Eyes the Next Resistance at $0.50

In the last 48 hours, buyers pushed XRP out of the range-bound zone twice as price reached the high of $0.47. However, the bears resisted the price movement as the altcoin fell back to the range-bound zone.

Since February 26, the range-bound movement has been ongoing between $0.40 and $0.45 price levels. The bulls have not been able to push on the upside because of intense selling pressure. The present range-bound movement was caused by the bulls’ inability to break above the $0.50 high. The bears push the price to the range-bound zone. Today, the bulls are making another attempt to breach the minor resistance at $0.45. A breakout will pull XRP out of downward correction. However, the major task is to break the resistance at $0.50. If the bulls are successful above $0.50 resistance, the market will rise and resume an upward move. Otherwise, Ripple will continue to trade below the $0.45 resistance.
