President-elect Donald Trump had pledged during his campaign to remove Gensler from his position ”on day one.” Following Gensler’s announcement, several crypto projects have seen their prices soar.

XRP Price Set For A Continued Rally

According to the XRP/USD analysis, the XRP price is experiencing a significant bullish breakout. This is evidenced by the sharp upward move, confirmed by strong price momentum and high volume. The parabolic price movement suggests strong demand and bullish sentiment.

The $0.49 support allowed the bulls to push the price of XRP up, as data from GeckoTerminal shows.

As a result of the sustained uptrend, the XRP price has gracefully crossed over both the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), which confirms the bullish sentiment.

Meanwhile, the bulls have gained full control of the asset, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) crosses way past the 70-overbought region, currently at 89. This is also an indication that XRP is currently overvalued.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also reinforces the bullish momentum, as the blue MACD line crosses above the orange signal line, an indication that the price of XRP is currently on a positive trajectory.

If the volume sustains and bullish sentiment remains strong, Ripple price may continue its upward trajectory. Key resistance levels would likely emerge near psychological levels, such as $1.50 or $2.00, acting as the major targets for the bulls.

Conversely, with the RSI in overbought territory, a short-term pullback or sideways consolidation is likely. Possible support levels to watch include the 50-day MA ($0.6408) and $1.20 (previous resistance).

Meanwhile, investors looking for alternatives may want to consider Crypto All-Stars (STARS), an innovative new ICO that has just surged past $5 million in funds raised in its presale.

According to 99Bitcoins, a prominent crypto channel on YouTube with over 706K subscribers, $STARS has the potential to soar 100X after its launch.
