Bullish Sentiment in Crypto Market Supports XRP/USD

The reason behind Ripple’s upward rally could be attributed to the bullish sentiment in the crypto market. The crypto market has been flashing green signals since the new month started. This was witnessed after the BTC prices gained some positive traction on the day.

The world is choosing crypto at a breakneck speed, as many of the biggest companies across the globe are set to accept cryptocurrency payments this year. This was seen as one of the key factors that kept the ripple prices higher.

El Salvador’s Willingness to Install Bitcoin ATMs

The gains in the crypto market were further bolstered after El Salvador showed a willingness to install Bitcoin ATMs to enable its residents to convert cryptocurrencies to U.S. dollars. Meanwhile, Jack Dorsey, the U.S. billionaire who is the co-founder and CEO of the microblogging platform Twitter and the CEO of payments solutions provider Square, announced he wants to build a decentralized exchange for Bitcoin. These positive headlines had a positive impact on the BTC prices, which indirectly boosted the crypto market sentiment.

Alternatively, the buying bias surrounding the dollar was seen as one of the key factors that kept the lid on any extra gain in the XRP/USD pair. The broad-based U.S. dollar extended its early-day upward rally and rose moderately against its major peers on the day. The U.S. 10-year benchmark Treasury yields traded higher at 1.30% with 1.80% gains. This is seen as one of the key reasons behind the dollar rally.

Ripple (XRP/USD) Technical Outlook – Pivot Point Support at $1.21

On the 3 hour timeframe, the XRP/USD has formed an upward channel that supports the buying trend in the crypto pair. Taking a look at the leading and lagging indicators, the 50 SMA supports a strong buying trend, while the RSI also suggests the same bullish bias. On Thursday, the pair is likely to exhibit a bullish bias. Therefore, traders will be looking for a buy trade above the $1.2100 level today.
