The above hourly chart of XRP noted the sudden surge in the value of the asset. After being stuck under the $0.30 level for the longest time and just consolidating, XRP’s price has finally witnessed a sharp rise to the $0.7 level. However, this could also be a point of reversal for the digital asset.
Reasoning
The sudden buying of the digital asset has pushed its short-term bullishness to an extreme as indicated by the MACD indicator. The MACD line was trending higher than the signal line, noting the short-term bullishness was on the rise and has been reaching a value unseen in a long time.
Similarly, the Relative Strength Index has moved above in the overbought zone. The asset has been trending in this zone for quite some time now, and its time it noted a reversal to equalize the pressure in the market. Thus, a strong sign for the price to drop and a short position to make a profit.
