XRP has seen a modest price increase of 2.5% over the past 24 hours, bringing its price back above $1.33. This recent rally has caught the attention of technical analysts who are closely monitoring the cryptocurrency's price action.

According to analyst CasiTrades, the key level to watch is $1.65. A breakout above this resistance point would likely confirm that the recent correction phase for XRP is over and could signal the start of a new upward trend.

The broader market context supports this optimism, with the total crypto market cap now at $2.84 trillion and Bitcoin also experiencing a 1.20% gain over the past day. The Fear & Greed Index remains in 'Greed' territory at 63, indicating a positive sentiment among investors.

XRP's market cap currently stands at $84.11 billion, reflecting its position as one of the leading cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The recent price increase has helped to offset some of the losses from the previous week, with the 7-day performance still down 2.27%.

If XRP manages to break above the $1.65 resistance level, it could attract more buyers and potentially lead to further price increases. However, if it fails to break through this level, the cryptocurrency may continue to trade in a sideways pattern.
