Ripple Consolidates in a Tight Range between $0.57 and $0.58, a Breakout Is Imminent

Ripple is falling after it retested the $0.58 resistance level. Incidentally, Ripple price rebounded above the $0.56 support and rallied above $0.58 high. The altcoin price pulled back and closed above $0.5785 at the time of writing.

However, after the pullback, the XRP price is fluctuating in a tight range between $0.57 and $0. 58. This tight range fluctuation is advantageous to the bulls because the market is consolidating near a resistance level. 

Consolidation near a resistance level increases the chances of a breakout. A breakout at level $0.58 will propel price to reach the highs of $0.65 and $0.78. Conversely, if price turns down from the $0.58 resistance, the market will decline to a $0.54 low. Also, if the $0.54 low is breached, the market will decline to $0.48 low. XRP/USD is trading at $0.577 at the time of writing.
