XRP jumps 7 percent as traders eye rare golden cross signal

XRP is riding Bitcoin's coat-tails back into the green. The token surged 6.9% today, fueled by a broader market rebound that saw Bitcoin reclaim the $80,000 level.

Mixed signals remain as volume fluctuates, leaving some analysts worried about a bull trap if Bitcoin loses its grip on recent gains.
