XRP Surges Past Key Trendline as Short Squeeze Fuels Rally Towards $1.50
XRP has broken through a key descending trendline that had capped its rallies since late August, climbing more than 5% to trade near $1.49.
The token led gains among major cryptocurrencies after Bitcoin pushed past the $84,000 level for the first time in nearly eight months.
XRP's move came in a single burst at roughly 11:30 UTC, coinciding with Bitcoin's sudden rally through the $84,000 threshold.
The token was up 7.43% on the day against Bitcoin's 4.42% gain, according to CoinDesk data.
