Will the price continue to increase at the rate predicted by the line?
Ascending Support
A look at the daily time-frame shows that the price is also following an ascending resistance line in the long-term. It has been doing so since reaching a low of $0.36 on May 17.
The XRP price touched the support line for the fourth time on July 5.
This coincided with the aforementioned low inside the descending wedge.
Afterward, the price began to increase.
Technical Indicators
The XRP price is analyzed alongside the 10- and 20-day moving averages in the first graph, and the RSI in the second.
A look at the daily moving averages (MA) gives a bearish outlook.
A bearish cross between the 10- and 20-day MAs transpired on July 2.
Since then, the XRP price has been trading below both MAs, facing very close resistance from the 10-day one.
On July 6, it made an attempt at a breakout but was immediately pushed down.
A look at the RSI gives a more positive outlook.
It has been generating bullish divergence since June 26, which preceded the breakout from the wedge.
However, the divergence is not present in longer-term time-frames such as the daily time-frame.
Therefore, it is likely that the breakout and the possible ensuing increase is a response to the rapid price drop on July 26 and not the beginning of a new uptrend.
If that is the case, where will the price find resistance?
