XRP managed to spike above $1.80 last week but eventually closed the daily candle beneath $1.60. It has struggled to break above the upper angle of a symmetrical triangle pattern that it has been trading in for the past fortnight.
Since spiking above $1.80, XRP has closed each daily candle beneath the upper boundary of the symmetrical triangle pattern. Yesterday, it fell from $1.60 to reach as low as $1.20. By the end of the day, XRP had recovered to $1.40 and remained inside the triangle. It continues to battle to stay above $1.40 today.
Looking ahead, the first resistance lies at $1.50. This is followed by the upper boundary of the triangle. Beyond the triangle, resistance lies at $1.60, $1.74 (bearish .786 Fib), $1.98 (2021 highs), and $2.10 (1.618 Fib Extension).
On the other side, the first support lies at the lower boundary of the triangle. Beneath this, added support lies at $1.25 (Feb 2018 highs), $1.20 (May lows & 50-days MA), $1.10 (.5 Fib), and $1.00.
The RSI slipped beneath the midline today, indicating the bears are in control of the market momentum.
