Ripple Price Analysis: XRP/USD needs to crack this key resistance to conquer $0.65

Ripple (XRP/USD) is holding the higher ground for the third straight session, as sellers continue to lurk just shy of the $0.60 mark.

The no.7 crypto coin awaits a strong catalyst for the next push higher. The Good Friday holiday-thinned trading could likely propel exaggerated move in the spot.

At the time of writing, XRP/USD is trading better bid above $57,100 levels, posting small gains on the day. The coin tracks the upbeat sentiment across the crypto board, as Bitcoin briefly regains the $60,000 threshold.

XRP/USD: Daily chart 

Ripple’s daily chart shows that the price has failed to find acceptance above the powerful horizontal trendline resistance (orange) at $0.60.

This has prompted the bulls to enter a phase of consolidation, as they gather strength once again, in order to yield a sustained break above the latter.

If the upside break materializes, the next fierce barrier awaits around $0.6425, which is a static resistance, represented by a horizontal trendline (yellow).

A daily closing above that level is needed to resume the uptrend towards $0.80.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) trades listless but comfortable above the midline, suggesting that there remains an additional room for the spot to rise.

A bull crossover, charted by the 21-daily moving average (DMA) having pierced through the 50-DMA from below, further adds credence to the bullish potential.

On the flip side, Immediate support awaits at the bullish 21-DMA of $0.5155, below which the 50-DMA at $0.5031 could be challenged.

Further south, the strong psychological support at $0.50 could help limit the declines in the XRP/USD pair.
