Ripple’s XRP token has enjoyed a positive start to the week with 2.3% surge to the upside on Monday morning as it moves back towards the $0.26 level of resistance.
With a market capitalisation of more than $11 billion, XRP is currently the fourth largest cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether.
This morning’s bounce demonstrates how the daily 200 exponential moving average has become a level of support after being a point of resistance on numerous occasions this year.
Aside from a momentary sell-off on September 22, XRP has traded above the 200 EMA since it broke above it on July 25, which preceded an EMA golden cross.
However, the 50 EMA is now sloping back down towards the 200 EMA, which indicates how short-term momentum is poised to the downside in spite of today’s rally.
The key hurdle for XRP remains the $0.26 level of resistance as it has not traded above this level since the start of September.
Breaking above it while Bitcoin establishes support above $11,000 could pave the way for a bullish end to what has been a turbulent year of price action.
XRP is currently 94.44% hower than its yearly low of $0.13 while being 28.53% lower than February’s yearly high of $0.3475.
