The world’s 3rd largest cryptocurrency has been maintaining a nice ascending movement for the past couple of days. Last week, it reached $0.346, before taking a dip to $0.316. Since then the price has been on constant ups and downs swinging between the range of $0.32 and $0.33.

As you can see in the chart below, today has been a really good day for the XRP as it took a jump of about 4 percent. At the time of writing, it has been exchanging hands at $0.341. Starting the day from $0.328, it is managing the daily trading volume of about $246 million.

XRP/USD has broken the resistance of $0.340 level and showing signs of a bull trend. Even if it takes a dip, XRP has support at $0.320 that will manage to keep it around $0.330 level and from further dropping.

Right now, XRP has good days ahead and is likely to start the next month on a positive and bearish note.

According to a recent finding by Leonidas, Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) is working with Ripple. Though Ripple and UBS first came together in 2016, the document shared was updated especially the Ripple-related part at the end of last year only that states:

“We have other consortium projects pairing us with R3 as well as a project with Ripple on real-time, cross-border payments.”
