XRP Price: Fibonacci Levels
Furthermore, the XRP price has not yet reached the 0.236 fib level of the entire upward move. This means that it still has not made the first step towards confirming an uptrend.
However, it also means that it has the potential for price increases since a retracement to the 0.5 level would amount to an increase of more than 200 percent.
The 10- and 20-period MAs have made a bullish cross and are offering support to the XRP price. However, it has yet to break out above the 200-period MA.

The use of these indicators and time-frames make it unlikely that the price will break down from the channel. However, it is possible that it will begin to decrease towards the support line.
Symmetrical Triangle
Since June 22, the XRP price has been trading inside a symmetrical triangle.
It is quickly approaching the convergence point between the support and resistance lines, at which point a decisive move should occur.
According to the moving averages, it is likely that this will be an upward move.

Summary
The price of XRP is trading inside a long-term ascending channel and short-term symmetrical triangle. Due to the previous movement, we believe that it has considerable upside potential. The moving averages support a breakout from the short-term triangle.
