Ripple price prediction: XRP/USD capped by the long-term trendline - XRP confluence

• XRP/USD stays below the key barrier created by a trendline.
• A sustainable move above $0.2860 will create a strong upside momentum.

Ripple’s XRP has been range-bound with bearish bias recently. The third digital asset with the current market value of $11.9 billion retreated to the area below $0.2800 after a failed attempt to break above the long-term sloping trend line (currently at $0.2810). At the time of writing, XRP/USD is changing hands at $0.2770, down 1.4% from this time on Wednesday and unchanged on a day-on-day basis.
