Ripple Regains Bullish Momentum as the Altcoin Battles $0.38 Resistance

Ripple (XRP) is in a downtrend, but the altcoin has resumed its upward correction after rising above the 21-day line SMA. Buyers intend to keep the price above the 50-day line SMA.

A break above the 50-day line SMA will push XRP to reach the highs of $0.43 and $0.45. The upward movement is likely to face rejection at the 50-day line SMA.

However, in the last uptrend, XRP was rejected at the high of $0.38. Today, XRP faces another rejection as the altcoin approaches the overbought area of the market. If XRP falls and finds support above the 21-day line SMA, XRP/USD will be forced to move between the moving average lines. However, if it falls and breaks below the 21-day line SMA, the altcoin will fall to the $0.30 support.
