Ripple (XRP) Price Analysis Feb.20: Following The Sentiment, Ripple Broke Up The Symmetrical Triangle

Following the bullish sentiment in the crypto markets, Ripple has broken above the $0.34 level, for the second time over the past 24 hours of trading. The cryptocurrency has now seen an impressive 8.5% weekly price spike.

Ripple is still ranked on the third position of the largest cryptos by market cap as it currently holds a $13.7 billion market cap.
