Ripple Price Prediction: XRP anticipates a 28% move if key technical pattern confirms
|- Ripple is dancing at the apex of a symmetrical triangle.
- The 50 SMA protects XRP's immediate downside on the 4-hour chart.
- The MACD indicators suggest that bulls are in control.
- The symmetrical triangle could lead to a massive breakdown if the lower trendline breaks.
Ripple is trading between two critical levels while sustaining the price at $0.45. The upswing in Bitcoin price on Saturday had minimal impact on XRP. Meanwhile, the cross-border token's consolidation is most likely to culminate in a significant upswing if a symmetrical triangle breakout comes into the picture.
Ripple looks toward significant liftoff to $0.6
The international remittance token is trading at $0.45 while squeezed between two key levels; the 50 Simple Moving Average (SMA) resistance and the 100 SMA, on the 4-hour chart. A breakout is anticipated above the symmetrical triangle.
The pattern forms in a relatively consolidating market and hints at either a breakout or a breakdown. A breakout occurs when the price crosses above the upper trendline. On the other hand, a breakdown comes into play when the price slices through the lower trendline.
As long as the 50 SMA support stays in place, Ripple will be primed for a 28% upswing on breaking past the descending trendline. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also hints at the trend flipping bullish in the near-term. A MACD cross above the signal, and by extension, the midline would be a huge bullish signal.

Looking at the other side of the fence
Ripple will entertain losses if the 100 SMA immediate support breaks. Note that the triangle pattern can also result in a colossal breakdown, measured from the pattern's highest to lowest points. On the downside, support is anticipated at $0.4 and $0.35, respectively.
