The XRP price has also gained momentum in the past 24 hours as the whole crypto market cap reached the $1 trillion mark again. 

According to CoinMarketCap (CMC) data, XRP is currently trading at $0.476, up by 3.15% in the past 24 hours, closing the gap with a seven-day-high of $0.48.

Do not forget that XRP developed its “golden cross” for the first time in 15 months, per a U.Today report. This is regarded as a bullish indicator by analysts.
