- There is a strong bullish divergence developing in the RSI.
- XRP is trading inside a short-term descending broadening wedge.
Current Pattern
A look at the daily time-frame shows that the XRP price has been trading inside a descending channel since the beginning of July.
At the time of writing, it was trading in the middle of the channel.
On August 6, it touched the support line and immediately began to increase, creating a long lower wick.
This is often a sign of a reversal, especially if it is succeeded by a bullish engulfing candle.
Let’s take a look at some technical indicators to see if that is likely.
Possible Reversal
A look at the daily RSI supports the hypothesis of a reversal. A very strong bullish divergence has been in development since May 14.
Additionally, the trend line of the divergence has yet to be broken.
Rather, the RSI has just reached it, potentially getting ready for an upward move.
This suggests that the XRP price might soon begin an uptrend.

Short-Term
A look at the hourly time-frame shows that XRP has been trading inside a descending broadening wedge since August 5.
At the time of writing, the XRP price was trading close to the resistance line of the wedge.
A bearish cross transpired between the 10- and 20-period moving averages on August 5.
This is a bearish sign that supports a price decrease towards the support line of the wedge.
It is worth noting that this will not cause a breakdown from the previously discussed descending channel.
We do not believe a breakdown is likely.
