XRP Set To Surge As Key Signal Points To Trend Recovery

Getting informed Altcoins

Crypto traders, always on the lookout for a sign of a rebound, have reason to be cheerful. XRP finally seems to be showing signs of life after months of stagnation. A “mini-golden cross” is approaching, a technical signal often indicative of a rapid bullish trend. With a recent breakout above its descending wedge pattern, XRP is currently well above its key moving averages. This mini-golden cross, although less publicized than the 50/200 EMA one, could well awaken the markets.

In brief

  • The mini-golden cross is forming on XRP.
  • The price surpasses important moving averages.
  • Key resistance at $2.30 for XRP.

XRP: a suddenly promising technical signal

Since February, the XRP price had been lingering in a frustrating sideways movement, trapped in a descending wedge pattern. However, this month, a breath of optimism has hit the crypto. XRP, currently at $2.28, has overcome several important technical obstacles. It is now above the three major moving averages: 50 EMA, 100 EMA, and 200 EMA, a rare and favorable setup for an altcoin.

A key element catches traders’ attention: a mini-golden cross seems imminent. This crossover of the 50-day moving average above the 100-day moving average is a powerful signal, especially for altcoins like XRP, which have a tendency to accelerate quickly after such crossings. This type of signal is generally associated with short- and medium-term rallies, as it indicates imminent bullish momentum.

Some investors do not hesitate to evaluate the potential of this crossover.

The acceleration of volumes, although moderate for now, suggests that such a move could gain momentum in the coming days.

Key resistance to watch: the $2.50 barrier

Taking a closer look, it becomes clear that XRP must now contend with two crucial levels. The first is the immediate resistance at $2.30, which represents a key point to break. If XRP manages to surpass this level, the path will be clear towards the symbolic $2.50 mark, the next technical and psychological resistance. Beyond that, $3.00 seems to be a realistic short-term target, given the strong volume congestion observed at that level in the past.

However, XRP must keep in mind an essential support zone. If the price falls below $2.20, the effect of the mini-golden cross would be significantly weakened. Such a setback would jeopardize the positive momentum currently forming, forcing traders to watch this area closely.

Let us remember, the resistance at $2.50 remains the main hurdle for XRP in the coming days. This level could well determine whether the mini-golden cross will lead to a true price acceleration or if the momentum will quickly be halted. Traders must be vigilant at these critical levels while observing volumes and technical indicators, such as the Bollinger Bands.
