However, it appears that the brief correction period is over, as the coin is rallying again. Supporting this bullish momentum is the massive rise in trading activity for XRP. According to <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/currencies/XRP" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinglass</a>, the trading volume of XRP has surged 105.84% in the last 24 hours. It is currently standing at the $2.47 billion level.
Additionally, there is an increase of 10.94% in Open Interest (OI), which currently stands at $712.63 million. It reveals that traders have increased their open positions for XRP, a solid indicator of rising investor confidence in the coin. The massive rise in the trading volume further supports this&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/shib-burns-explode-1088-as-price-breaks-out" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bullish outlook</a>.
Another positive signal is emerging from the coin’s moving averages. XRP is currently trading above its 200-day simple moving average (SMA), according to <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/XRPUSD/technicals/?exchange=BINANCE" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TradingView</a>. It is a crucial metric as it reveals the broader price movement of the coin. Since XRP is trading above this level, it clearly means that the broader outlook has remained bullish. Despite the recent correction, XRP is still expected to sustain its upward rally.
