For XRP, a de-constructed ascending channel can be observed but it might not carry the same bearish implications considering the price movement hasn’t defined proper higher lows and higher highs yet. The price movement between $0.249 and $0.258 has been a key range in the past during a transition period as evident in the chart over the past couple of months.
The main bullish factor associated with the above analysis is the strong volumes attached to the trading price. While a rising price should generally be attested with strong volumes, this particular pattern indicated promise from a price stability point of view.
Lastly, Stochstic RSI suggested a bullish crossover near the over-sold position, further solidifying the chances of another strong re-test at $0.260 and eventually breaching past the resistance at $0.258.
