In the last seven days, the price of XRP has traded within a close range of $1.97 and $2.20 in the cryptocurrency market. However, XRP holders are still bullish, as 1.67 billion XRP have been committed by traders in open interest within the last 24 hours, with signs that the price has likely bottomed out.

XRP’s Bollinger Bands have also left some traders wondering if the potential rally is ahead amid investors' bullish bets.
