Rise of Ripple [XRP]

Ripple [XRP] price action eased near the former mid-range level after a strong rally last week.

Odds of Retesting These Levels

Odds of XRP retesting these levels depend upon whether Bitcoin can reclaim its previous resistance ($27K) decisively or not; if so then Ripple will have more opportunity to test prior highs while failure to do so might cause prices to sink back down again eventually testing lower range boundaries around $0.433 once again depending upon market sentiment prevailing at that time..
