XRP is on the verge of a technical pattern known as a “golden cross” in its Bitcoin (BTC) pairing. This pattern, often seen as a bullish signal, occurs when a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average, indicating potential upward momentum.
On the XRP vs. BTC chart, the 50-day SMA has turned up and looks set to move above the 200-day SMA in the coming days. Both moving averages are already converging, suggesting that a golden cross is imminent. For XRP, this could herald further price gains against Bitcoin, especially if the broader cryptocurrency market remains favorable.
The potential for a golden cross comes at a time when XRP and other altcoins are experiencing rallies.
