As mentioned above, is surprising to see a little bit of under from Ripple, due to the developments over the last week or so for its network partnerships. 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.

XRP/USD is still slowly grinding higher, with not much bull momentum behind it currently. The major resistance is seen at the about trend line, which had been supporting the price in the back end of 2017. The challenge looks to be around $1.35, support remains at underneath trend line, tracking around $0.75.
