- XRP price action
XRP completed a golden cross pattern on its hourly chart, even as it saw short-term positive momentum.
The 50 MA crossed above the 200 MA on the hourly chart, indicating a golden cross. This comes as the XRP price rose as the market saw its strongest weekend price action in over 20 weeks.
XRP extended its price rebound from a low of $1.34 on Feb. 13 into the third day as the crypto market rose following lower-than-expected CPI data.

Sunday saw the XRP price rise as much as 13%, from $1.50 to $1.67, alongside increasing volumes. XRP’s price jump follows the broader crypto market recovery as a lower-than-expected CPI reading helped boost the outlook for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts on the markets.
Various XRP metrics are currently in green. XRP trading volume rose 88% in the last 24 hours to $4.75 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. XRP open interest increased as well by 19% to $2.86 billion.
XRP and RLUSD news

XRP price action
XRP sharply rose in a three-day surge to a high of $1.67 before it retreated. At the time of writing, XRP was trading up 4.15% in the last 24 hours to $1.52 and up 4.07% weekly.
XRP is hinting at a short-term barrier at $1.67 as it fell from here on Feb. 1, but this is yet to be confirmed.
If the price surpasses $1.67, XRP might rise next to $1.82, which coincides with the daily MA 50 ahead of the $2 level.
A rise above $2 might eye $2.38 next, which coincides with the daily MA 200. On the other hand, if XRP turns down from current levels, it might drop to $1.34 ahead of the $1.11 level, which is a critical level for the bulls to defend. XRP may then fall to $1 and subsequently to $0.80.
The daily RSI is slightly below 50, indicating a chance of sideways trading.
