As a result of the move, polygon recorded its strongest point since May 8, breaking out of a key resistance of $0.9500 in the process.

In addition to this, the relative strength index (RSI) moved past its own ceiling at the 49.00 mark.
At the time of writing this, price strength is now tracking at 52.93, with an upcoming ceiling of 56.00 a possible hurdle for bulls.
XRP
XRP (formerly ripple), also saw an increase in bullish momentum, as it rebounded from a recent one-week low.
XRP/USD climbed to an intraday peak of $0.4673 earlier in the day, following a low of $0.4472 on Thursday.
Today’s peak saw the token move closer to its long-term resistance level of $0.4690, which was last broken in April.
