XRP price is calming down and entering a pattern that can become a starter for the next rally
After reversing from a local peak at roughly $0.51 in price, XRP price has lately entered a symmetrical triangle formation. Due to the likelihood that the asset will break out of the pattern and resume a more clear-cut trend, this technical formation leads traders to believe there will be an increase in volatility soon.
A chart pattern known as a symmetrical triangle is characterized by converging trendlines joining a string of lower highs and higher lows, with the price varying between these levels.

The pattern often develops due to market participants’ expectations for the following large price movement during periods of consolidation. Pressure increases as the triangle gets smaller, frequently leading to a breakout in either the upward or downward direction. Generally, a breakout from the symmetrical triangle signals an uptick in volatility.
The divergence between moving averages is a crucial indicator to keep an eye on in this pattern. If the shorter-term moving average in the case of XRP starts to cross above the longer-term moving average, this can indicate positive momentum. On the other hand, it can indicate that bearish pressure intensifies if the shorter-term moving average crosses below the longer-term moving average.
