XRP/USD


Although the rate for XRP has risen by 1% since yesterday, its short-term forecast remains bearish.

Ethereum is trading at $129.74 at press time.

According to the technical analysis, the Bollinger Bands suggest that the coin is unlikely to go above $0.196. Moreover, the trading volume index is on the decline, which means another possible price drop. In this regard, one can assume that XRP is about to re-test the $0.19 support level soon.


At press time, XRP is trading at $0.1931.
