XRP Price in a Symmetrical Triangle
A look at the hourly time-frame shows that the XRP price has been trading inside a symmetrical triangle since August 15.
Both the resistance and support lines have been validated several times.
Additionally, the XRP price is rapidly approaching the end of the triangle — at which point a decisive move is likely to occur.
What direction will that take?
Previous Movement
A look at the daily time-frame shows that XRP previously broke down from a horizontal support line on August 14.
The support line was at $0.29 and is likely to provide future resistance.
The XRP price reached this area on August 18 before being rejected and resuming its downward movement.
The symmetrical triangle is a continuation pattern. Since it is coming after a breakdown, it makes a continuation of that downtrend likely.
This view is supported by a look at the daily moving averages (MA).
The XRP price is trading below both the 10- and 20-day moving averages.
While it has made attempts at breaking out, they have all been unsuccessful.
Additionally, the 10-day MA shows no signs of wanting to move upward — possible making a bullish cross.
This makes us believe that XRP is likely to breakdown from the triangle.
If it does, where will it go?
Future Movement
In case a breakdown occurs, one support area is outlined below.
It is found at $0.245-$0.25.
According to our analysis, the XRP price is likely to reach it.
