XRP technical analysis and future levels
According to an expert technical analysis, XRP recently witnessed a bullish escape from a cup and handle model, as well as a descending triangle.
Due to the drop in the current market, the asset managed to retest the rupture area at $ 2.40 and rises once again. However, this escape area is also aligned with the exponential mobile average (EMA) for the four -hour period.
Based on the action of recent prices and historical models, if the assets are kept above the level of $ 2.38, there is always the hope that XRP could rise significantly and potentially reaching the level of $ 3.50. Meanwhile, if the asset does not hold this level and closes a candle of four hours below $ 2.38, it could drop by 13% to reach $ 2.05 in the future.
