XRP/USD – Buyers Push Above March Highs

Key Support Levels: $0.659, $0.609, $0.556.
Key Resistance Levels: $0.75, $0.773, $0.8.

XRP is now up by a total of around 30% over the past week as it pushed higher from $0.55 (2019 highs) to break above $0.6 and reach the current resistance at $0.70.

The cryptocurrency was trading inside a bullish wedge pattern during March but managed to close a daily candle toward the upside yesterday. Since breaking above, XRP surged higher to break above the March highs at $0.6 and reach as high as $0.74 today.

It has now dropped back toward $0.7, but the breakout of the bullish wedge has allowed the market sentiment to turn from neutral consolidation to a bullish condition.
