With Bitcoin [BTC] registering an uptick in its price over the past 24 hours to trade at $26.1k, this could provide a good opportunity for XRP bulls to push for a rally.

XRP’s quick recovery from the $0.4 price zone after the sharp drop on 17 August was heralded as the bottom of the deep retracement. However, the bullish rally stalled at the 23.6% Fib level ($0.544).
Bulls have twice been met with mild resistance at the 23.6% Fib level on 20 August and 30 August respectively. Yet, September brought moderate gains for XRP. The on-chart indicators suggested buyers could make another push to break above the 23.6% Fib level.
The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator surged to +0.24 to reveal the strong capital inflows for XRP over the past week. Although the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stayed under the neutral 50, it moved above the oversold zone to signal modest buying pressure.
The press time price of $0.5 presents a buying opportunity. Short-term traders can target the $0.55 to $0.6 price levels. Another price rejection at the 23.6% Fib level would invalidate this idea, and we could see a strong downward push toward $0.45.

Realistic or not, here’s XRP’s market cap in BTC’s terms
On-chain data from Coinalyze showed that XRP’s Spot CVD has been on a rapid rise since 17 August. This revealed a strong demand for XRP from market speculators, with the possibility of catching another bullish wave.
Buyers can also be encouraged by the positive funding rates in September. Together, they pointed to favorable conditions for bulls to initiate another price rally.
