Since spiking above $1.80, XRP has closed each daily candle beneath the upper boundary of the symmetrical triangle pattern. Yesterday, it fell from $1.60 to reach as low as $1.20. By the end of the day, XRP had recovered to $1.40 and remained inside the triangle. It continues to battle to stay above $1.40 today.
