In response to the indecisive market sentiment, the XRP price has been wavering sideways for over a week. A keen look at the 4-hour time frame chart shows the price action is confined in a narrow range within the two converging trendlines, forming a triangular shape.

After a massive downfall, this triangle setup indicates the formation of a bearish pennant pattern. By the press time, the XRP coin traded at $0.523 with an intraday loss of 0.51%. 

Considering a higher possibility, the crypto sellers are likely to break the pattern’s lower support and accelerate the bearish momentum in price. The post-breakdown fall could plunge the altcoin’s market value by 18.8% revisiting the $0.422 low.

Can XRP Buyer Make a Comeback?

While the overall market sentiment and price behavior support sellers, buyers may get an opportunity to counterattack if they break the upper trendline of the pattern. A bullish breakout from the overhead trendline will intensify bullish momentum and prepare a significant upswing in XRP price. However, the anticipated recovery must close above the August 17th high of $0.5948 for better confirmation. 

• Exponential Moving Average: The 20-day EMA slope may offer dynamic resistance against the bullish bounce
• Average Directional Index: An uptick in the daily ADX slope at 31% indicates sellers can carry further downfall.
