A closer look at the 1-hour chart, we can see that a double top chart pattern has formed. This suggests that XRPUSD may trade lower soon. A break below the neckline support at $0.3102 could trigger a drop to the rising trend line on the 4-hour chart.
Meanwhile, a close above yesterday’s highs at $0.3406 would invalidate this chart pattern. Ripple price may soon begin its rally to $0.4500.
