Once the upper level of this channel is broken, the coin will have a chance to extend upside movement towards 61.8% Fibo of the upside movement from $0.4500 low to $0.9650 high at $0.6470 and to the ultimate bullish goal at $0.6800.

Ripple is the third largest coin with current market value $24.7B and average daily volume $420M, up from $234M registered on Wednesday. The fact that Ripple is recovering from lows on growing volumes might be interpreted s a positive sign, to it is to early to say that the worst is over.

Ripple along with Ethereum concerns US regulators. They think that it may be categorized as a security, and if this happens, the coin will crash.
