XRP’s price recovery halted under the crucial $2 mark as the exchange-held balances dropped to the lowest point in eight years. This shows a decrease of approximately 57% since October which is a clear sign of long-term holding. The trading platforms’ liquidity may be a factor affecting the price. Even though there is a bounce, the continuous upside is still limited by the strong resistance at USD 2 and the low market supply.
