  • Partnership development have lack of influence on price for time being
  • Bull momentum remains soft at this time

The market has observed announcements from the likes of LianLian major payment processor based in Hong Kong, and UAE Exchange in the Middle East. Neither partnerships, had much influence on the price of Ripple at the time.

The challenge looks to be around $1.35, support remains at underneath trend line, tracking around $0.75.
