The Ripple price has rallied another 5% during trading on Friday, running within 4 sessions of consecutive gains. Ripple has managed to move over 40% higher this week, jumping from lows of $0.48 up to highs of $0.69.

Across the crypto market can see a strong recovery, as all the major altcoins move in lock-step with the current change in sentiment. There hasn’t been anything of a catalyst to attribute you sudden shift, some big players saying the bottom of recent downward trend may have been reached, but that may be too premature to say.

 Ahead is a touted area of resistance for XRP/USD, seen within the 4-hour time frame view. The supply zone runs from 0.69 to $0.72, this may prove to be a challenge for the price in terms of breaking through. Should a may be seen through this area, the early $0.80 region will be the next area to conquer.
