XRP Surges to New Highs Amid Cryptocurrency Rally
XRP has surged as much as 14.21% in 24 hours and 40.06% over the past week, making it the strongest performer among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market value.
The cryptocurrency closed above both its 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages for the first time since its August death cross formed.
XRP's breakout followed a rally that pushed Bitcoin higher after the U.S. Treasury announced larger long-dated bond buybacks beginning September 9.
Momentum indicators show a stretched rally, with XRP's Relative Strength Index reaching 83.5 and its Average Directional Index standing at 32.4.
