Latest Ripple price and analysis (XRP to USD)
Ripple’s XRP token has officially broken out above the $0.20 level of resistance as it takes aim at the daily 200MA at $0.22815.
The bullish break for XRP coincides with a significant hike in its market cap, with it now being $9.5 billion after being worth $8.2 billion one week ago.
There has also been an injection of trade volume in light of the rally with $2.75 billion being traded over the past 24 hours compared to $1.7 billion during the previous day.
Astonishingly XRP has now rallied by 94.98% since 13th March devastating low of $0.115 to demonstrate strength ahead of the Bitcoin halving.
Bitcoin will undergo a reward halving in 13 days, with it being expected to cause an increase in the price of all cryptocurrencies as supply gets reduced.
What historically happens is Bitcoin will eventually begin to rally after the halving and when it consolidates profits get diversified into altcoins like XRP, resulting in the highly-anticipated ‘altcoin-season’.
XRP is forecast to make up significant ground in the coming months as optimism flows back into the cryptocurrency space.
Breaking above the daily 200MA would bring price targets of $0.3484 and $0.4971 back into the frame, although a rally of that magnitude may take months to come into fruition.
It’s worth noting that XRP is not out of the woods yet, a rejection from the 200MA may well result in a drastic correction that will likely come with a test of the $0.17 level of support.
