The price of Ripple (XRP) is still in a downward correction after the recent drop to a low of $0.30 on July 1. In the latest price action, the bulls failed to break the high at $0.38 or the 50-day line SMA.
The bears sold off in the recent rally, hence the drop to the low of $0.30. In the last five days, XRP has regained bullish momentum as the cryptocurrency holds above the $0.30 low.
Today, XRP has risen to the high of $0.32, but the upside is encountering rejection at the recent high. The upward movement is limited by the 21-day line SMA. A break above the 21-day line SMA will accelerate the upward movement. The coin will rally to the high at $0.38 or above the 50-day line SMA. The bullish momentum will extend to the high of $0.46. On the other hand, if the bulls fail to break the 21-day line SMA, XRP will be forced to trade in a narrow range between $0.30 and $0.32.
