Latest Ripple price and analysis (XRP to USD)

Ripple’s XRP token has been rocked this week by a market-wide sell-off that has seen it lose 17% of its value in three days.

The world’s seventh largest cryptocurrency by market cap, which is currently being investigated by the SEC, is now trading back below the psychological level of support at $0.50 as it edges towards a wider correction to $0.40.

Much of XRP’s trajectory over the coming weeks depends on whether Bitcoin can weather the recent storm and hold above the $50,000 level of support after sliding dramatically from its all-time high of $62,000.

If, however, Bitcoin plunges deeper before this month’s quarterly options expiry, XRP will also likely feel the pain, with downside targets beginning to emerge at the daily 200 exponential moving average, which is currently at $0.38.

The ongoing SEC investigation will also have an impact on the future the the XRP token, although murmurs from the Ripple camp appear confident for the time being.

A positive resolution would dispel fears over XRP’s status as a security, which could cause an influx of investment as the risk profile would become far more favourable.
