XRP Pauses Above $2.00 as Traders Show Indifference

XRP/USD Long-term Trend: Bullish

The XRP price has paused its positive trend as traders show indifference. The altcoin is predicted to surpass the $3.30 historical price milestone in January 2018. Buyers have failed to maintain bullish momentum above the $3.00 barrier mark. For the past week, the altcoin has fluctuated above the moving average lines but below the $3.00 resistance level.

On the upside, a break above $3.00 will take the altcoin to its previous high of $3.30. On the downside, a break below the 21-day SMA will cause the altcoin to fall above the 50-day SMA, or $1.50 low. XRP is currently worth $2.40.

Key Resistance Levels: $2.50, $3.00, $3.50
Key Support Levels: $1.50, $1.00, $0.50
