Ripple in a Tight Range for a Possible Breakout

Ripple has ranged at the bottom of the chart for the past two weeks. It is unlikely the selling pressure will continue.

At the breakdown of $0.12, XRP reached the oversold region of the market. Subsequently, the emergence of bulls aided to push the coin to a high of $0.16. Ripple is still trading above $0.16 at the time of writing. 

At the moment, the market is fluctuating between the levels of $0.12 and $0.17. The pair will make an upward move if the bulls succeed in breaking $0.17 overhead resistance. Unfortunately, the upward move is doubtful as the bears tend to mount stiff opposition at the $0.17 resistance. In other words, Ripple may continue it's a range-bound move for a few more days.
