If XRP closes above this significant mark today, it may pave the way for further ascent in the next few days, potentially reaching the next major resistance level at $0.68.
Supporting Technical Indicators
Both the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) endorse this bullish outlook. Over the past 48 hours, the RSI line rose above the RSI Simple Moving Average (SMA) line, indicating an advantage for bulls on XRP’s daily chart.
