XRP Poised for a Comeback as Bullish Wedge Forms on Chart

• XRP market indicators and metrics have pointed to a trend reversal with a possible price rally in the coming days.
• Market experts argue that XRP is not out to replace the U.S. Dollar but to revolutionize the value transmission system.

After taking a massive dip in April, XRP is preparing for a bull rally after a prolonged period of consolidation. XRP market indicators and metrics point to a bearish reversal after a rebound from critical support positions over the weekend.

Like a majority of coins, last week saw XRP trade in the red zone, leading to a retest of the $0.48 lower support. However, this was followed by a swift rebound during the weekend that saw the digital asset retest the $0.50 higher support before being rejected.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading for $0.4878 after a 2% surge in the last 24 hours. This marks a 2% drop in the last week as the token prepares to reverse the trend in the new week.

This performance has led to a decline in the XRP’s profit supply with only 69.8 billion tokens in profit. This could influence investor behavior with the smart money opting to buy the dip and retail investors cashing out to avoid greater losses. This has been illustrated by the XRP’s Fear and Greed index which at 37 is flashing ‘fear’. This typically reveals that risk appetite for the asset is very low and demand for the digital asset is lacking.

Ripple (XRP) Prepares for Imminent Rally

However, XRP market indicators and metrics have pointed to a trend reversal with a possible price rally in the coming days. This bullish outlook is forming around the token’s daily chart. A deeper analysis reveals that a bullish falling wedge pattern has emerged on the token’s chart.

Another key metric to consider is the XRP’s MVRV ratio. This is at its lowest point in the last 30 days, which could trigger a bull rally. Additionally, exchange reserves have dipped, indicating traders are opting for self-custody. It further indicates that there is demand for the altcoin which is evidenced by whale transactions. This is a bullish indicator that suggests, they are getting ready to hold for the long term.

Finally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) registered upticks. These are also key indicators of a price reversal.

In mid-April which saw the altcoin drop from a high of $0.60 to a low of $0.47 in a couple of days. Since then, the altcoin has failed to stage a breakout that leads to a revisit of these levels. With the formation of the new bullish pattern, investors are optimistic about a retest of its year-high of $0.70.

Based on XRP’s subdued performance in the last couple of years, it is important to note that the ongoing Ripple v. SEC case continues to hold a great influence on short-term price performance. But as recently highlighted by Brian Brooks, Valor Capital Group, the short-term trend should not be concerning. The expert was basing his argument on Google’s early days.
