At the time of writing, XRP has increased slightly over the previous day to $0.383. The daily RSI indicates a balance between bulls and bears because it is only slightly over the neutral 50-point mark.

A significant barrier level for XRP on the upside is the daily MA 200, or $0.399. On March 19, XRP briefly climbed over this level, reaching highs of $0.401, but bulls were unable to maintain the rise.

If XRP makes a strong move above this important threshold, it might reach as high as $0.433, or possibly $0.50. But, if the $0.399 barrier is not broken, the XRP price may trade in a range before making a substantial move. On the other side, support appears to be accumulating around $0.355 to halt potential declines.

New users join XRPL network

XRP is seeing clear network growth, as evidenced in the number of new accounts created on the XRPL network. According to data posted by the XRP validator website, rippleitin, there were 1,958 new XRPL joiners on March 19.

2/ Last Wednesday, I was in Seoul with our APAC #policy stalwart @radvanisg to kick off our Policy Summit Series in Asia Pacific. We discussed the regulatory road ahead for #blockchain and #crypto in South Korea. Suffice to say there’s lots of policy developments going on there!
