The ongoing sideways trend in XRP price has shaped into a head and shoulder pattern. The altcoin has been working on this pattern for nearly six months, preparing for a potential downfall. In theory, the bearish pattern signals the failure of buyers to rebound higher from a particular support (neckline) which eventually resumes a directional downfall.

Key points: 

  • A head and shoulder pattern governs the XRP price’s sideways trend
  • A bullish breakout from $0.411 will undermine this bearish pattern
  • The intraday trading volume in the XRP price is $1.05 Billion, indicating a 125% gain.

Despite the ongoing uncertainty in the crypto market, the XRP coin witnessed a significant inflow on December 26th, which pushed its prices to a local resistance of $0.373. Today, the price tried to break above the mentioned barrier but couldn’t sustain the high ground.

By the press time, the XRP price trades at the $0.368 mark and shows indecisiveness among market participants with a Doji candle. This candle pattern, backed by decreased volume, indicates a higher possibility of price reversal.

Thus, this potential downfall may drop the XRP coin 15% down to challenge the neckline support of the H&S pattern, i.e., $0.32-$0.31. This multi-month support level has supported this altcoin for the past six months and losing it will cause a deeper correction and plunge the prices to $0.26.

On a contrary note, a bullish breakout from the $0.382 overhead barrier will weaken the bearish thesis and encourage a price rally to 12% higher to $0.41.
