Litecoin (LTC) was one of the notable gainers on Monday, as the token raced to a ten-day high.
LTC/USD rose to a high of $70.83 to start the week, which comes less than a day after hitting a low of $65.54.

As can be seen from the chart, Monday’s move comes as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) rose above its own ceiling at 45.00.
The index is currently tracking at 51.79, with the next visible point of support at the 54.00 level.
Should the RSI reach this point, it is highly likely that prices will also collide with a ceiling of $72.00. XRP
XRP, formerly ripple, also moved higher to start the week, as the token collided with a key resistance point.
Following a low of $0.3447, XRP/USD hit a high of $0.356 earlier in today’s session, which is also a recent price ceiling.
