A month ago, Ripple [XRP] traded nearly 40% below its current price, grinding through a multi-month consolidation under $2.50. Fast-forward, and that patience is finally paying off.

But cracking $3 is one thing, and holding above it is another. Over half of the recent 40% move occurred in just the past week, and the RSI was already pushing near 90, at press time, marking a level last seen during the election squeeze.
