Ripple Price Upside Move

There was a fresh upside move initiated in Ripple price from the $0.7000 swing low against the US Dollar. The price succeeded in breaking many resistances such as $0.7500 and $0.8000. To start with, there was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.8400 high to $0.6770 low. It opened the doors for more gains above $0.7500.
