Ripple Price Analysis: XRP Sits At $0.28 But Is It Primed For A Breakout Against BTC?

XRP saw an increase of around 2% over the past 24 hours and it currently trades at $0.2805. This allowed it to climb by a total of 10.65% over the past 30 days as the cryptocurrency makes its way toward the $0.30 level once again. However, XRP has strong resistance ahead at the $0.2811 and the 100-days EMA before being able to reach $0.30.

XRP remains the third-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $12.11 billion.

Since our previous XRP/USD analysis, the cryptocurrency continued to fall from the resistance at $0.2811 until finding support at the $0.2584 level. XRP has since rebounded and is now re-testing the $0.2811 level.
