XRP Takes A Break And Prepares For A Possible Rally To $3.50

The XRP (XRP) price has paused after reaching a high of $2.87 on December 2. The uptrend has continued as the cryptocurrency retraced and found support above the 21-day SMA.

XRP long-term analysis: bullish

Last week, the altcoin traded above the 21-day SMA but below the barrier at $2.80. The uptrend will continue if the 21-day SMA support holds and the bulls break through the $2.80 resistance. If the buyers break the current barrier at $2.80, XRP will rise to the next resistance at $3.30. However, if the buyers fail to break the $2.80 barrier, the current price range will remain.

On the downside, XRP will fall if the bears break the 21-day SMA support. XRP will fall above the 50-day SMA or the low at $1.40. At the time of writing, XRP is currently worth $2.40.
