XRP/USD needs to remain above SMA50 1-hour in order to stay bullish because XRP/USD is currently in the technically difficult situation. If XRP goes below SMA50 1-hour then it will start moving towards $0.27 level and below this level, SMA100 1-hour is present. Ripple could lose its bullish behavior if it reaches $0.26.

Therefore, Ripple (XRP) needs to trade above SMA50 1-hour by holding above the $0.28 mark. Users are expecting Ripple to cross the psychological level of $0.30 in order to start massive bullish action.
