XRP’s 1-week price volatility has shot up lately, further increasing the chances of a continued surge. In addition to that, the token’s Binance funding rate was green, reflecting its demand in the derivatives market.

The bulls are taking over
XRP’s daily chart revealed that the bulls were gaining the upper hand in the market. For instance, the MACD displayed a bullish edge in the market. The token’s Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon displayed a bullish crossover as well.
However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) was hovering around the overbought zone. If it enters that spot, selling pressure on XRP might increase. Additionally, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) also registered a downtick, which is a bearish signal.
