XRP price awaits breakout
On the daily chart, XRP price consolidates inside the ‘Symmetrical triangle’, a breakout is on the way to set further directional basis. If the price breaks the session’s low and gives a decisive lower close then more pain for XRP is visible on the charts. As it already remains pressured at 50-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average) at $0.7547.
A break of the crucial $70.0 will extend the sell-off toward the $60.0 horizontal support line.
On the flip side, a resurgence in the buying pressure could result in the upper breakout of the pattern. The first upside filter is placed at the crucial $80.0 level.
A continuation of the bullish pressure will next take out the highs made on February 9 at $0.91.
