Feb 25, 2022 at 10:55 //
PriceThe price of Ripple (XRP) remains in a downward correction as the altcoin falls below the moving averages. After the recent slump, the cryptocurrency is trading between $0.62 and $0.72.
Ripple (XRP) price long-term forecasts: bearish
On February 24, the XRP price fell sharply to a low of $0.62, but bulls bought the dips as the altcoin corrected higher. Buyers pushed the altcoin to previous highs, but the uptrend was rejected at the high of $0.72.
In other words, the bullish momentum was pushed back at the 50-day moving average line. On the upside, the bulls need to break above the moving averages to resume upside momentum. If the bulls are successful, XRP will regain the high at $0.90. The bears could turn the $0.72 price level into a resistance zone, which would result in further downward movement of the cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, XRP is trapped in a range. A break below $0.62 will send the altcoin back to the $0.54 price level.
