Traders should keep the XRP price on their watchlist as the price could pull back towards $0.51 liquidity levels. A short will be justified if the bulls fail to establish new highs. 

 Invalidation of the bearish outlook depends on the swing high at $0.56 remaining unbreached. If the bulls were to breach this barrier, an additional rally towards $0.58 and possibly $0.61 could occur Such a move would result in up to a 27% increase from the current XRP price
