Since breaking the bullish flag pattern at the start of August, XRP climbed above the 200-day MA and the 2020 highs of $0.8282 to hit the 100-day MA.
The 100-day MA was finally breached yesterday after Ripple announced a partnership with GME Remittance. The partnership caused XRP to surge beyond the 100-day MA at $0.88, break $1, and reach as high as $1.10.
XRP has since dropped back beneath $1.00 but found support at $0.93 (.382 Fib) today and has since rebounded to $0.97. It’s important for bulls to breach above $1 as soon as possible. XRP is also up about 32% on the weekly.
