XRP creates golden cross as price eyes $1.50
A “golden cross” signal has appeared on XRP’s four-hour chart, as the 50 MA has risen above the 200 MA. This signal comes after XRP saw buying pressure, which caused price to reach $1.60 on March 17.
XRP rose for five days at a stretch from March 12 to March 16, extending a recovery from a March 8 low of $1.32. The rise lifted XRP above the daily MA 50 at $1.449, which had capped its price since January.
As it stands, XRP is struggling to hold above this key level at $1.449. If this is achieved, XRP will eye a return to $1.50 and $1.60.
On the contrary, a drop below $1.44 may cause XRP to return to its previous range and extend its sideways price action.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued an interpretation clarifying how federal securities laws apply to certain crypto assets and transactions involving crypto assets.
