Ripple Threatens To Fall As It Fails To Break $0.55 High

The price of Ripple (XRP) is trading in the bullish trend zone as it pulls back above the 21-day line SMA.

Long-term forecast for the Ripple price: bullish

On October 9, buyers made another attempt to break the $0.55 resistance zone but were rejected. This will be the third unsuccessful attempt to start a new uptrend. Nevertheless, the altcoin will reach a new high of $0.66 if the buyers overcome the $0.55 resistance.

However, if the buyers fail to break the resistance zone, there is a tendency for the altcoin to fall below the moving average lines. On the downside, XRP will fall below the 21-day line SMA if it is rejected at the recent high. The bullish scenario will lapse if the price falls below the blue line moving average. Ripple will fall and find support above the breakout level of $0.41. Meanwhile, XRP/USD is trading at $0.49 at the time of writing.
