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

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.
