Traders are leaving no stone unturned as the fear of missing out (FOMO) on rallying altcoins like XRP takes over. The most prominent cross-border money remittance token surged 13% in the last week to trade at $0.67 on Tuesday backed by $2.4 billion in trading volume and $36.2 billion in market capitalization.
Bulls are focused on rebuilding the uptrend above $7 after profit-booking activities forced the token to take a breather at $0.73. Another break above the immediate $0.7 hurdle is likely to encourage traders to buy more XRP while anticipating the next breakout to $1.
XRP price has completed a 61.8% recovery from its lowest price point in August based on the Fibonacci retracement levels. This remarkable move implies that the uptrend could be nearing a pullback, as traders consider locking in the gains.
However, according to the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, XRP still has the momentum to keep the uptrend intact. In other words, traders would be willing to ride the uptrend further as long as the blue MACD line holds above the red signal line.
At the same time, the green histograms above the neutral area, reinforce the bullish thesis.
Adding credibility to the bullish outlook in XRP price is a bullish cross on the chart. As the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (red) flips above the 100-day EMA (blue), a golden cross pattern would compel traders and investors to keep buying XRP, not afraid of sudden pullbacks.
The next action XRP takes could determine the direction the token takes; either to close the gap to $1 or to trim gains and consolidate before the next breakout.
In case XRP rises above the immediate resistance at $0.75 as highlighted by the 74.3% Fibonacci retracement level, traders will rally behind the uptrend for gains above $1 assured that the uptrend will not suddenly snap.
The second scenario would be XRP price failing to break above the immediate hurdle of $0.75. Such a situation could distort the uptrend, as traders interfere with the momentum as they rush to book profits, thus adding to the selling pressure.
If XRP corrects below the short-term support at $0.7, investors may need to start acclimatizing to more losses likely to bring into the picture the local support at the 38.2% Fibo around $0.61.
Blockchain data analytics platform Santiment revealed on Monday that wallets holding between 100k – 1 billion XRP tokens have been increasing their exposure to the remittance token such that they “now hold their highest level in 2023.
If the buying spree continues, XRP will continue to be among the best-performing cryptos. The token’s market cap briefly surged earlier today, toppling Binance Coin (BNB) to become the fourth-largest crypto indicating that the force behind XRP is stronger now.
