XRP just secured golden cross: Details
Yesterday, Ripple-affiliated token XRP registered a golden cross formation on its four-hour price chart. This pattern occurs when a shorter-term moving average, such as the SMA 50, crosses above a longer-term moving average, such as the SMA 200. The formation of the golden cross validated XRP's bullish run and signaled the potential for continued upward momentum. However, at the moment of writing, XRP is trading down 6.56% over the past 24 hours, at $0.5698. Still, it appears that XRP has found strong support at the $0.381 and $0.403 marks. The bullish trend is likely to continue as long as the price of XRP stays above current levels.
