XRP’s recent price action suggests healthy accumulation and strong market sentiment. After consolidating near the $2.10 level, the token has started to show renewed bullish momentum. The 4-hour chart reveals that XRP is consistently holding above key exponential moving averages (EMAs), with decreasing volatility, signaling institutional accumulation.

Despite the relatively low volatility, market analysts are optimistic. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 64.44, indicating bullish momentum without the asset being overbought. Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is making a bullish crossover, suggesting potential for further gains. Traders are advised to consider long positions near the $2.10-$2.13 zone with stop-loss orders below $2.02 to guard against sudden market reversals.

XRP ledger library security flaw revealed

In a concerning development, the XRP Ledger Foundation recently revealed a serious security flaw in its official JavaScript library, which could have compromised user wallets.
