XRP is the fastest and the cheapest digital currency that is considered a reliable source of money for users across borders. It is also easy to make payments.

The Other Side of The Story

While it was an achievement on the part of Ripple to have bagged a spot with Travala, the former is still facing some issues with its valuations. The price of Ripple recovered recently, but it failed to tip off the $0.3120 resistance against the US dollar. In other words, the price of XRP is slowly declining and is now trading well below $0.3100.

Recent reports, however, suggest that the prices are correcting and the value is trading above the 23.6% Fib retracement level from the last decline amounting to $0.3031 to $ 0.3080. It must be told here that there is a resistance at the latter level. One of the key technical indicators, as proposed by the industry experts is that the MACD for XRP/USD is slightly placed in the bullish zone. The Relative strength index is currently above the level of 40.
