The daily candle closed above both the 50-day and 200-day EMAs for the first time since XRP's death cross locked in earlier this month. The move rides the same Bitcoin short squeeze and Treasury-driven liquidity wave that's been ripping through crypto all week. Crypto is having one of its best weeks in months, and XRP just grabbed the wheel.
Bitcoin punched through $72,000 this week on the back of a record short squeezetraders who bet on lower prices getting forced to buy back at higher ones, which pushes the price up even furtherfueled by a U.S. Treasury plan to nearly double its long-bond buybacks starting September 9. Today Bitcon is trading above $77,000 with an intraday high of $79,000. Traders have nicknamed the move QE Lite, since loosening bond markets this way echoes the old Federal Reserve stimulus playbook even though it's coming from a different part of government. Risk assets across the board caught the bid.
