XRP Consolidates On Reaching Critical Support At $0.50

The price of Ripple (XRP) has dipped below the moving average lines as the altcoin maintains its sideways trend.

XRP long term analysis: bearish

On October 3, XRP fell below the moving average lines and hit a low of $0.50 before resuming consolidation above the current support. On the negative side, further declines in XRP appear unlikely. The altcoin had been in reverse for two months when it reached critical support at $0.50. 

Since October 3, the price action has been stationary due to the formation of doji candlesticks. If the current support holds, the cryptocurrency will rise in value. The altcoin is trading above the $0.50 support but below the moving average lines. The price of the altcoin will increase if it rises and breaks above the moving average lines.
