Ripple's XRP: Underperformance days to continue

XRP to continue to trade sideways and southward.
Won't be easy to take second largest crypto tag back from ETH.

Manoj B Rawal Independent Analyst

Ripple's XRP, which lost its second largest crypto tag to Ethereum (again) due to its continued underperformance to other major cryptocurrencies, still remains under pressure and has a long way to go in its journey to the south.

XRP/USD is up about a percent on day at $0.366 and trading in about 2 percent range for the day with very low volumes and volatility - sign of its sideways trading and underperformance days. On the daily chart of the crypto it is stuck in a lower low, lower high downard slanting parallel channel.

On the hourly chart, in the short term it has taken support at ascending trendline and is now headed upward, towards $0.40 - upper end of the parallel channel on the daily. From there, downward juorney resumes.
