XRP Approaches Resistance as Bullish Sentiment Grows
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $0.48, close to the upper line of its descending triangle, which has been acting as resistance since May 22.

When an asset’s price attempts to cross above the upper trendline of this triangle, it indicates a potential bullish breakout. If the breakout is accompanied by an increase in trading volume, it confirms a possible trend reversal from bearish to bullish.
In the past few days, XRP has witnessed a surge in daily trading volume. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin’s trading volume has reached $775 million, representing a spike of over 30%.
Furthermore, XRP’s weighted sentiment has flipped to positive for the first time since June 21. This metric takes into account the overall mood of the market regarding an asset, considering both the sentiment surrounding the asset and the volume of social media discussions.
A flip from negative to positive weighted sentiment suggests a shift in market sentiment from bearish to bullish. Currently, XRP’s weighted sentiment stands at 0.68.
