Ripple price is trapped between the 50 and 100-day moving averages for the eleventh trading session. This is the longest period that the XRPUSD trades in such a narrow trading range. The move today stalled for one more time below the 100-day moving average. Traders should be patient and ready to follow the breakout in either way as I expect that a bog move will follow after the break.
Ripple capitalization stands now at $9.02 while the trading volume in the last 24 hours has reached 1.90 billion.
