At the time of writing, XRP has increased slightly over the previous day to $0.383. The daily RSI indicates a balance between bulls and bears because it is only slightly over the neutral 50-point mark.
A significant barrier level for XRP on the upside is the daily MA 200, or $0.399. On March 19, XRP briefly climbed over this level, reaching highs of $0.401, but bulls were unable to maintain the rise.

But, if the $0.399 barrier is not broken, the XRP price may trade in a range before making a substantial move. On the other side, support appears to be accumulating around $0.355 to halt potential declines.
New users join XRPL network
