XRP Forms Golden Cross Against BTC, but Timing Says Not Now

XRP completed a golden cross against Bitcoin, a bullish signal, but faced a six-day decline. Despite this, XRP has outperformed Bitcoin since mid-September, reaching a high of $1.65. Analysts note potential resistance at $1.60 and a possible 30% rally if the price breaks above the neckline of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. Whales have accumulated 470 million XRP in five days.
