Ripple
XRP is back on the ascent as it surged by a total of 30.8% this week to break back above $0.5. Last week, XRP was struggling to break resistance at a descending trend line that dated back to early December 2020.
This descending trend line was finally penetrated on Wednesday, which allowed it to break above $0.5. It continued higher from there, reaching as high as $0.61 today. It has since dropped slightly to trade at $0.585.
Looking ahead, the first resistance lies at $0.61. This is followed by $0.65 (bearish .786 Fib), $0.663, $0.685, and $0.718 (bearish .886 Fib).

Against Bitcoin, XRP is also starting to look increasingly bullish again. Last week, it failed to break resistance at the December 2017 lows around 1200 SAT. As a result, XRP dropped lower against Bitcoin throughout the week and even briefly dropped beneath 1000 SAT.
It has since rebounded and has managed to penetrate 1200 SAT today to reach 1240 SAT. We must wait for a daily candle close above the resistance to confirm the breakout.

It turned parabolic after breaking the channel until it met resistance at $0.941 (1.618 Fib Extension – red) on Wednesday. Although it spiked above this resistance, it has struggled to close a daily candle above it and has since dropped to trade at $0.918.
