This indicates that bullish momentum is strengthening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed to approximately 55, placing it above the neutral 50 level. The reading suggests buyers are gradually regaining control without the market entering overbought conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Together, these indicators point to improving market sentiment, although confirmation of a sustained recovery will require a breakout above key resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Key Resistance Levels<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first major obstacle for XRP is the 50-day EMA at $1.1458.
