XRP week ahead: Why traders should prepare for a 20% surge

• XRP has a strongly bullish bias on the daily chart, and swing traders can seek to enter long positions.
• In the short term, some consolidation over the next 12-24 hours is likely.

Ripple [XRP] saw a rapid rise in the number of transactions. This could be due to the hike in micropayment transactions which have become prevalent on the XRP Ledger. Its trading volume was also high.

In South Korea, the 24-hour volume of XRP was higher than Bitcoin’s [BTC] on the 17th of July. Moreover, the bulls defended a former resistance level as support, setting the stage for another impulse move higher.

The RSI was also well above neutral 50 to show bullish momentum. As things stand, XRP could advance to the range highs at $0.71.
