XRP/USD: Looking for a big break higher?
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.
