Traders bullish on XRP
On March 12, Bitcoin collapsed, losing around 50 percent in just one day, and the rest of the crypto market followed it. XRP made a sharp drop from the $0.19 level to $0.13.
After that, the price managed to recover a little and hit $0.15. Now, crypto traders are sharing their bullish predictions on the coin, even though they are not expecting it to make any big price moves.
Trader ‘Goomba’ is expecting XRP to make a bullish breakout after a ‘fork’. The trader is going to short XRP as soon as it reaches the target.

“The price is close to the support level of the channel, if we see a confirmed retracement we can take a long position. for further action we have to get a breakout.”
Not so optimistic on XPR’s next move
David_Smith, from TradingView, on the contrary, expects XRP to start sliding and reach the $0.14972 level.
