- XRP price dwindles around the short-term support with negative bias.

XRP price trades with downside bias
XRP price surged nearly 65% from the record lows of $0.55 made on January 22 to the swing highs of $0.91. Now, this level is the upper boundary of the trading range, which makes it a crucial level to trade. As a result, the price was retraced immediately to test the lower range. The XRP buyers tested twice in both ranges since February 9. This, constitute the parallel channel helping investors to take informed decision near highs and lows.
Currently, the price could attempt to bounce back as the price approaches the reliable support level. A resurgence in the buying order could make the buyers take out Tuesday’s high of $0.70. Further, the sustained buying pressure could push toward the next destination at $0.80 followed by the psychological $0.90.
On the contrary, a daily close below the low of the session would invalidate the bullish outlook for the pair. In that case, an interim support could be located around $0.55.
