XRP Confirms Negative Breakout With Price Headed For $1.14 – Analyst

Over the last week, the XRP market endured a dominantly bearish mood. During this time, the altcoin’s price declined by more than 5% amid general market struggles. A broader overview shows that XRP has remained range-bound between $1.29 and $1.55, with this range stretching back to February. However, recent technical developments on the daily chart pattern indicate an impending market sell-off to end this month-long consolidation and establish a deeper decline in this bear market.

In trading analysis, a symmetrical triangle is created when the price forms a series of lower highs (descending resistance line) and higher lows (ascending support line). These two trendlines converge, forming a triangle. This chart formation usually represents indecision and compression in the market, as buyers are stepping in earlier each time (higher lows) and sellers are stepping in sooner each time (lower highs).

During this time, the current price range becomes accepted value as the market build support & resistance clarity. In addition, there would be an uptick in limit order activity, with liquidity deepening on both sides to eventually form a mature order book. However, compressions always result in expansion, the direction of which hinges on liquidity and whether these whales return as buyers or sellers.

At the time of writing, XRP trades at $1.35 reflecting a gain of 1.1% in the last day. Meanwhile, the asset’s daily trading volume is up 4.23% and valued at $1.96 billion.
