Finally, a break above the $0.4200 barrier could kick start a fresh increase towards the $0.4500 resistance level in the coming days.

Overall, ripple price is trading with a positive bias above $0.4000, but it must gain traction similar to bitcoin and Ethereum. More importantly, a close above $0.4125 and $0.4200 is needed for a fresh rally towards $0.4400 and $0.4500.
