Ripple Stays above November 2017 Price Ratios & Raises Eyebrows

There is no denying Ripple has been affected by the bear trend in digital assets. XRP continues to trade near forty-eight U.S cents and its forty-two cent support level remains in plain sight. However, intriguingly Ripple has not sunk below it mid-December 2017 price levels. Meaning the cryptocurrency has not challenged its November lows when euphoric buying started to grip the wide marketplace. Traders can look at this one of two ways, either XRP will eventually relent and move lower and lurch towards thirty cents per coin. Or this plateau Ripple has achieved – shows some type of fundamental strength and a solid juncture in which to build. And speculator certainly has reasons to consider both possibilities as they position themselves.
