XRP’s daily chart exhibited the formation of a bull flag pattern with the price rising high and oscillating between two parallel horizontal lines. This was indicative of a potential bullish price breakout in the near-term.

The moving averages also sided with the bulls. 50 moving average was above the 100 moving average, after undergoing a bullish crossover on Dec 5th. This indicated a positive sentiment for the coin’s price. Additionally, both the moving averages were well below the price candles.
