XRP
XRP reached a two-week high on Friday, following the SEC’s announcement that it was discontinuing its case against Garlinghouse and Larsen.
The XRP/USD pair reached a peak of $0.5291 earlier in the day, rebounding from a low of $0.4831 the day before.
This surge has propelled Ripple to its highest level since October 5, when it reached a peak of $0.5325.
Although the earlier gains have moderated, this is due to the relative strength index (RSI) failing to breach the 57.00 threshold.
At the time of this writing, the price strength stands at 56.32, with the next significant support level at 50.00.
Furthermore, the 10-day moving average (in red) has begun to trend upward, increasing the likelihood of a bullish crossover in the coming days.
Solana (SOL)
Solana (SOL) experienced a remarkable surge in today’s trading session, successfully breaking through its long-standing resistance at $25.00.
After hitting a low of $24.17 on Thursday, SOL/USD surged to an intraday high of $27.29 earlier today.
Friday’s performance represents the highest point Solana has reached since July 20, when it reached a peak of $27.35.
Due to this strong sentiment, SOL has entered into overbought territory, with the RSI currently standing at 74.60.
A notable resistance level awaits current bullish traders at 75.00, and if they manage to overcome it, Solana could target the $28.00 mark.
