Ripple
XRP didn’t do anything to differ that much from the other two aforementioned cryptocurrencies. The third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap managed to reach past the $0.205 level after a whole day of slowly moving up. It is currently in the process of testing the level as support. XRP’s moves above $0.205 are seemingly more violent and volatile, while the moves below it are slower and more gradual.
