XRP Price Breakout from Multi-Year Consolidation Signals a Rally to $01.5

Over the past three years, the XRP price has traded sideways, resonating within the formation of a symmetrical triangle pattern.

As a result, the XRP price is expected to pull back to recover and recharge its exhausted bullish momentum.
