A noteworthy aspect of this movement was its impact on the asset’s Relative Strength Index (RSI), pushing it above the neutral line. Previously, XRP had remained below the neutral line since around December, occasionally briefly crossing above it.
At the time of writing, the upward momentum in price continued, reflecting a 1.75% increase, and XRP was trading at around $0.54. The RSI also continued its upward trajectory above the neutral line, indicating a bullish trend.
However, despite these positive trends, the price had yet to surpass its short Moving Average (yellow line). It still acted as resistance at around the $0.55 price level.
