Today, Ripple (XRP) is trading on the upside to breach the resistance at $0.205. The cryptocurrency has been on a downward move after the XRP reached the overbought region since April 30. In the overbought region when sellers emerged, the coin dropped to $0.21 low and resumed sideways move below the $0.225 resistance. The sideways move became necessary because buyers fail to sustain the uptrend above $0.225.
The coin encounters another breakdown on May 10, which sank Ripple to $0.18 low. This completes the ongoing downward move. Since on May 10, the upward move has been restricted below the $0.205 resistance. In the past week, the bulls have been finding penetration difficult at the minor resistance. On the upside, a break above $0.205 resistance will accelerate the resumption of the uptrend.

The market will move up to $0.22 high if the minor resistance is breached. The momentum expected to extend to a $0.23 price level. Ripple will continue its sideways move if the bulls fail to breach the minor resistance.
