 <p>Since taking back the crucial level, the price has been maintaining a small increase. Specifically, XRP is currently trading at $0.51 and is up more than 1% over the last 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap. However, there remains abundant selling pressure facing the cryptocurrency in the years early weeks.</p>
 <p>Coinglass has reported that more than $1.53 million in liquidations from XRO took place in the last 24 hours alone. Moreover, further exploration shows that $1.24 million of that were long liquidations, with only $289.23K being short liquidations.</p>
 <p>With so much selling taking place, many consider it a great time to purchase XRP. Despite its bearish momentum at this point in the year, it is hard to believe a turnaround is not nearing. Specifically, its legal disputes with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should take place at some point this year. Then, it could find itself facing a reversal, with bullish momentum abounding.</p>
