Despite the negative sentiment among most cryptocurrencies at the start of the week, XPR is showing signs of strength as price respects support and moves higher towards recent highs. XRP/USD has been differentiated from Bitcoin that is showing major topping signs.

Blue lines- support trend lines

XRP/USD made a high yesterday just above $1.60 while today price pulled back towards $1.30. The key support at $1.20 remains intact. Price has now moved above the short-term resistance trend line once again and has potential of reaching the upper resistance trend line at $1.65. As we explained in our last post, a break above $1.61 would be a bullish sign. XRP/USD shows that it is not so much affected by the negativity in other cryptocurrencies and might start a big upward move soon, if resistance is broken. We remind that bulls do not want to see price break below $1.20 as this will lead to a deeper decline towards $1 and lower.
