The hourly chart is also trending upwards in a flag formation. During this movement, the RSI has gone up from the oversold zone and is currently trending around 63.75, next to the overbought territory. 

However, while every other sign so far has been positive, there is a sign that could trigger a short term bearish correction. The hourly XRP chart has flashed the sell signal in the TD sequential. Although the bearish formation has yet to be formed, a short-term correction may be imminent.

The social volume chart for Ripple shows a spike this Friday and Saturday. During this time, the price has reacted positively to the spikes. However, increased attention is not necessarily a good sign for the continuation of the uptrend. When prices pump and the crowd starts paying attention, then the dump usually follows shortly after.
