On the bigger time frame, the rate is far from the key levels. Even if the current bar closes bullish, buyers have not accumulated enough strength for a continued upward move. In this case, sideways trading in the zone of $0.52-$0.55 is the more likely scenario.

From the midterm point of view, neither bulls nor bears are dominating. Respectively, any sharp moves are unlikely to happen soon. All in all, traders may witness a consolidation in the zone of $0.50-$0.60 for the next days.

XRP is trading at $0.5321 at press time.
