Ripple’s XRP token is going into the typically low-volume weekend on the back of a bullish week after rallying by 8.26%.
It is, however, now approaching a crucial level of resistance at $0.26, which has not been taken out to the upside since early September.
Breaking above $0.26 over the next fortnight would tie in with the bullish narrative surrounding Bitcoin following PayPal’s foray into digital assets.
Bitcoin is currently trading at around $13,000 for the first time since June, 2019. If it can continue to rally followed by a period of consolidation, altcoins like XRP could well begin to see the proceeds of profitable Bitcoin trades.
One of the most notable parts of XRP’s recent price action is that it has held well above the daily 200 exponential moving average.
Over the past three years XRP has struggled to gain momentum to the upside, consistently falling below key moving averages as it slumped from an all-time high of $3.28 to as low as $0.128 earlier this year.
If XRP can break above $0.26 it would almost certainly trigger a bullish break out, with price targets beginning to emerge at both $0.285, $0.296 and August’s local high of $0.327.
