• Rising bullish sentiment translated to 8.5% gains for XRP over the past day.
• A surge in Open Interest could spur a bullish rally.

AMBCrypto’s previous price analysis highlighted the growing bullish sentiment with the Open Interest and Spot CVD climbing higher.

Hence, Bitcoin’s [BTC] swift rally above $29k along with the Securities Exchange Commission dropping the lawsuit against Ripple executives spurred a bullish reaction in the market. Is this what XRP needs to go on a bullish run?

The bullish bias was clearly evident in the market with the CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) moving into positive territory with a reading of +0.12. This signaled good capital inflows into XRP, as buyers looked to ride the wave of optimism surrounding the altcoin.

With price trading above the mid-range point of $0.5, a candle close above the mid-range on the higher timeframes could spur more buyers into action. If the range-high hurdle at $0.556 is cleared, this would pave the way for a strong rally toward the $0.6 to $0.65 price zone.

Meanwhile, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) showed rising buying pressure. It climbed above neutral 50 over the past day and posted a reading of 65, as of press time.

The surge in Open Interest (OI) reiterated the bullish bias on XRP. According to Coinalyze, the OI jumped by 15.6% over the past 24 hours. This took it from $363 million to $409 million, as of press time. A rise in OI and price is typically a strong signal of further bullish gains.

Furthermore, the spot CVD which started to climb on 9 October continued to trend higher. This showed continuous demand for XRP which could spur additional gains for short-term buyers.
