Technical analysis: XRP price maintains uptrend on Monday
XRP price increases nearly 2% on the weekly time frame. The altcoin sustains above $0.63 on Monday, posting higher highs and higher lows since Friday on the 4-hour price chart.
XRP price faces resistance at $0.6561 and $0.7025 in its path to retrace its year-to-date peak of $0.7440 from March 11. These two resistance levels represent the 50% and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the decline from the March 11 top of $0.7440 to the March 20 low of $0.5681.
If the uptrend is sustained, XRP price could climb beyond the year-to-date peak and attempt to fill the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $0.7527 and $0.7609 on the 4-hour time frame.
The Moving Average Convergence/ Divergence (MACD) indicator flashes green bars above the zero line, supporting positive momentum in XRP.

Ripple FAQs
Ripple is a payments company that specializes in cross-border remittance. The company does this by leveraging blockchain technology. RippleNet is a network used for payments transfer created by Ripple Labs Inc. and is open to financial institutions worldwide. The company also leverages the XRP token.
XRP is the native token of the decentralized blockchain XRPLedger. The token is used by Ripple Labs to facilitate transactions on the XRPLedger, helping financial institutions transfer value in a borderless manner. XRP therefore facilitates trustless and instant payments on the XRPLedger chain, helping financial firms save on the cost of transacting worldwide.
XRPLedger is based on a distributed ledger technology and the blockchain using XRP to power transactions. The ledger is different from other blockchains as it has a built-in inflammatory protocol that helps fight spam and distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks. The XRPL is maintained by a peer-to-peer network known as the global XRP Ledger community.
XRP uses the interledger standard. This is a blockchain protocol that aids payments across different networks. For instance, XRP’s blockchain can connect the ledgers of two or more banks. This effectively removes intermediaries and the need for centralization in the system. XRP acts as the native token of the XRPLedger blockchain engineered by Jed McCaleb, Arthur Britto and David Schwartz.
