XRP price bull flag hints at 20% rally by New Year’s

cointelegraph.com:

XRP (XRP) price may rally over 20% in the coming weeks thanks to a classic bullish continuation setup.

The so-called bull flag pattern develops when the price consolidates inside a parallel channel after a strong uptrend. It resolves after the price breaks above the upper trendline with convincing volumes and rises by as much as the previous uptrend’s height.

As of Nov. 26, XRP was trading above its bull flag’s upper trendline, albeit accompanying weaker volumes. That technically indicates a weaker conviction among traders about XRP’s bullish continuation. 

The duration of traders’ indecisiveness could have XRP price test the flag’s upper trendline as support. That means a decline toward $0.59, coinciding with a historical support level and the 50-day exponential moving average (50-day EMA; the red wave), by November.

This level is also around XRP’s downside target on the weekly timeframe chart.  

XRP may then climb toward $0.75 in December, up over 20% from current price levels, if the bull flag scenario holds and is characterized by a high-volume rebound from the upper trendline.

Conversely, breaking below the flag’s upper trendline would delay the bullish continuation setup, bringing the lower trendline near $0.54, coinciding with the 200-day EMA (the blue wave), into play as the next downside target.

XRP’s on-chain data looks tilted toward bulls thanks to strong accumulation among its richest addresses.

Notably, the cryptocurrency’s correction period has coincided with an increase in its supply among addresses with a balance between 100,000 and 10 million tokens. In total, these so-called “whales” have purchased $6.82 million worth of XRP tokens over the past week.
