XRP is in full recovery mode after surging by a total of 5.5% today to break the 2019 highs at $0.556 and reach $0.6. XRP is now up by a total of 30% this week, making it the second-highest performing top-10 ranked cryptocurrency behind Theta (+75%).

The cryptocurrency had penetrated above a falling wedge pattern over the weekend as it pushed to break resistance at $0.5. From there, XRP has been slowly grinding higher each day to break the 2019 highs and hit $0.6. It has since dropped to $0.578.

It’s worth noting that the most recent surge comes as a result of somewhat positive developments in relation to the Ripple-SEC lawsuit.

XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first level of resistance lies $0.588 (short-term 1.272 Fib Extension). This is followed by $0.6, $0.65 (bearish .786 Fib Retracement), and $0.685 (1.272 Fib Extension & February highs).

The daily RSI is fully in the bullish favor as it approaches extremely overbought conditions. However, the Stochastic RSI is already extremely overbought and is primed for a bearish crossover signal that might cause a correction within the market.
