Ripple Price Analysis: XRP Is Facing The Critical 5000 SAT Support. Can It Hold?

After surging by a total of 20% over the past 7 trading days and reaching a high of around $0.48, Ripple has recently rolled over and dropped by 3.28% over the past 24 hours bringing the current trading price down to $0.3883.

Before the price surge up toward the $0.48 level, Ripple had been trading within a sideways range for the entire period of 2019. The recent increase has allowed Ripple to break out of the previous stagnant price movement that it had been trading within.

Ripple remains ranked in 3rd position in the top cryptocurrencies as it presently holds a $16.42 billion market cap value.

• The trading volume has dropped since the surge witnessed a week ago. However, the trading volume still remains high.
• The RSI is presently trading along the 50 line which indicates indecision within the market. If it breaks beneath, we can expect the market to turn bearish and XRP/USD to head lower.
