The first half of October saw the XRP price grappling with considerable selling pressure, dragging its price down from $0.548 to $0.473—a loss of nearly 13.8%. This decline also led to the breaching of the support trendline of an ascending triangle pattern, signaling potential bearishness for XRP price in the near term. Is this enough to go bearish on this altcoin?

Earlier today, the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin witnessed a significant inflow as the rumors spread around the SEC approving the spot Bitcoin ETF. This ripple effect boosted several major cryptocurrencies, including XRP, which saw an intraday gain of 4.82%.
However, the asset faced stiff resistance around $0.51 and even retested the previously breached support trendline of the ascending triangle pattern, now acting as resistance. A long rejection candle in the daily chart suggests that supply pressure remains strong and could continue to drive the correction.
If the price falls below today’s low of $0.485, likely, the XRP price could further slide by approximately 6% to reach the next support level at $0.458, and possibly even down to $0.42.
