It involves two converging trendlines: an upper resistance barrier and a lower support cushion.<\/p>\n<p>The main feature of a Symmetrical Triangle is that the two trendlines approach each other at a roughly equal and opposite slope. Thus, as the asset trades inside such a channel, its shrinks to a midpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Like other consolidation patterns in TA, one of the trendlines not holding up can imply a continuation of trend in that direction. This means that a surge above the resistance level can be a bullish signal, while a fall under support a bearish one.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Symmetrical Triangle involves trendlines converging at the same angle, it doesn&#8217;t have a bias in either direction. This suggests that a breakout from the pattern may be equally probable up and down.<\/p>\n<p>The Symmetrical Triangle isn&#8217;t the only triangle pattern that exists in TA. Other popular types include the Ascending and Descending variations. In the former, the upper trendline is parallel to the time-axis, while in the latter, the bottom level is flat instead.<\/p>\n<p>Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Symmetrical Triangle that the 1-day price of XRP has been trading inside over the last few months:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/HHncHNiWsAUFNdY?format=jpg&amp;name=4096x4096\" alt=\"XRP Symmetrical Triangle\" width=\"2160\" height=\"2700\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As displayed in the above graph, the daily XRP price has already made multiple retests of both the upper and lower trendlines of this Symmetrical Triangle, but so far, it hasn&#8217;t been able to find any break.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the cryptocurrency has been surging, so it&#8217;s possible that the next retest could be of the upper level. If the asset manages to break past resistance this time, it could naturally indicate the continuation of a bullish trend.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the height of the triangle, the analyst has noted that a close above the $1.45 resistance mark could open the door to $1.80 for the coin. From the current exchange rate, a run to this level would mean an increase of more than 26%.<\/p>\n<p>From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that XRP is currently nearing in on the apex of the triangle. In this region, the range becomes so tight that retests turn more frequent, which also makes a breakout more likely to occur. Given this, it now remains to be seen when the asset will escape the triangle and in what direction.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Price<\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, XRP is floating around $1.426, up 3.7% in the last seven days.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/tpntLKoW\/\" alt=\"XRP Price Chart\" width=\"1486\" height=\"957\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cryptocurrency analyst has pointed out how XRP could see a breakout from a Symmetrical Triangle if it manages to close above $1.45.
