XRP: Descending Wedge Breakout Analysis 1D (Jun. 12)

12 Jun 2020

X Force Global Analysis:


In this analysis, we look at XRP's BTC pair chart on the daily to assess a potential bullish breakout scenario.

Analysis

- The first thing we note is the descending bullish wedge we are trading in
- XRP is consolidating within a descending wedge pattern, looking for a potential breakout
- Moreover, a bullish divergence has also formed, with lower lows on the price, and higher lows on the Relative Strength Index (RSI)
- The Stochastic Oscillator is at oversold territories, looking for a potential golden cross
- While the MACD's bullish histograms are decreasing, it has nonetheless formed a golden cross, and the potential death cross could be negated by a breakout
- However, we are currently trading below the 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA), and a break above that moving average is necessary for bullish confirmation
- Moreover, for the past few weeks, Bitcoin has failed to break and close above the Ichimoku Cloud resistance
- For a breakout to lead to a bullish rally, a break and close above the Ichimoku Cloud is imperative


What We Believe

While XRP has shown weakened momentum and price movement, technicals demonstrate potentiality for a breakout. The Ichimoku Cloud resistance is extremely strong, but a break and close above those levels could lead to a bullish rally.

Trade Safe.
