XRP Price: Trends and Highlights for August 9
- XRP/BTC is trading inside a descending wedge
- The short-term RSI has been generating bullish divergence.
- There is resistance at 2800 satoshis.
- XRP is trading inside a long-term descending channel.
Descending Wedge
A look at the two-hour time-frame shows that the XRP price has been trading inside a descending wedge since August 5. The descending wedge is considered a bullish pattern, making price breakouts more likely.
Furthermore, the price has just reached the support line, making it a suitable level for the beginning of an upward move.
A look at the RSI supports this hypothesis since it has been generating bullish divergence for the entire duration of the wedge.
Therefore, we believe that a short-term breakout is on the cards.
Where will the XRP price go afterward?
Long-Term
A look at the daily time-frame shows that the XRP price has been trading inside a descending channel since the beginning of July. Additionally, the short-term wedge is outlined with a dashed line.
Upon a closer look, we can see that once the price reached the support line, it immediately increased and created a hammer candlestick.
During the ensuing decrease, the XRP price generated the short-term wedge discussed in the first section.
This pattern of price movement furthers our belief that XRP will break out from the short-term wedge.
