Ripple’s XRP token is currently consolidating in a bullish zone following its remarkable performance over the past month.
The world’s third largest cryptocurrency by market cap is trading at $0.625 as it lines up a move back to the $0.676 level of resistance.
Short-term levels of support remain at both $0.592 and $0.573, although it seems a though a move to the upside is more likely over the coming days and weeks.
If XRP can begin to trade above $0.676, its next hurdle will be its yearly high of $0.78, which was also a local top in September, 2018.
Much of its upcoming trajectory will depend on the direction of Bitcoin and whether it can break is all-time high of $20,000 with conviction on heavy volume.
While altcoins like XRP may initially suffer if Bitcoin breaks its all-time high, profits will eventually be diversified into more speculative assets which is when XRP will most likely break its yearly high.
If, however, Bitcoin fails to breach $20,000 and slumps back to the low $17,000 mark, altcoins will bear the brunt of the sell-off with a downside target of $0.50 becoming a likely taget.
