Ripple’s controversial XRP token is currently trading above the $0.14791 level of support after bouncing by 15% from its $0.12876 low.
The relief rally comes after a troubling month for XRP with it losing more than 56% of its value since February 15.
The sell-off has been reflected across all cryptocurrency trading pairs, with the likes of Bitcoin also suffering a 50% correction.
XRP is occupying uncharted territory at the moment with it not trading this low since before the 2017 bull market.
It needs to continue trading above $0.13, at the very least, in order to avoid a further plunge below the psychological level of support at $0.10.
From a bullish perspective it needs to rally back above the $0.1691 level of resistance before taking a stab at the $0.20 level, although a spike in volume is required for a hike of that magnitude to come into fruition.
Despite suffering a major sell-off XRP remains the third largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $6.5 billion with daily trade volume regularly exceeding $2.5 billion.
Much of the upcoming XRP price action will depend on the trajectory of Bitcoin leading up to May’s halving, which has historically been a bullish even for cryptocurrencies.
