XRP Tests Above Key Pivot
XRP/USD tested above the key resistance and 50% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.2591 above the daily Ichimoku cloud with all the other Ichimoku moving averages turned up. It is Columbus day holiday in the US so the majority of Cryptocurrency movements are independent of the US dollar.
XRP Daily Chart
Ripple’s strength could be due to the growing excitement over the “Swell” conference in Canada on Oct. 16, 2017. After September drops, the first XRP spark occurred a day after Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, answered questions on an online forum, Quora, hinting at a major announcement when the company hosts its first annual conference later this month. Should the bullish market sentiment continue, we could see XRP reaching the next resistance levels falling on the 61% and 78% Fibonacci retracement levels, at 0.2887 and 0.3257 respectively.
