How about the XRP price?
XRP price has been trading in the $0.33-$0.415 range since November. The price failed to rise above the $0.43 resistance and is stuck in a tight range between the 50-day and 200-day moving average lines at $0.38 and $0.4 respectively. A break to the upside is likely to open another test of the $0.43 level.
In this case, the next resistance will move towards the $0.6 area. On the other hand, a breakdown of the 50-day moving average could result in a potential drop towards the key $0.3 support level in the coming weeks. cryptocoin.comWe have included the current XRP analysis in this article.
However, XRP’s on-chain situation over the past month has not been great. Despite significant increases in active addresses in January, it failed to repeat performance. 30-day active address dropped to 254,000. This data means that there is a decrease in the number of wallets sending and receiving wallets on the Ripple network.
