Cup and Handle

Pattern Description:

The Cup and Handle is a bullish continuation pattern that marks a consolidation period followed by a breakout. The cup is in the shape of a "U" and the handle has a slight downward drift.

Ripple - Is the period of consolidation over?

2025-01-02 by Tim Straiton

The price of ripple at the time of writing is 2.4110 and trading above the 50 day rising moving average of 1.9850 and also above the 200 day rising moving average at 0.9077. The descending triangle pattern currently defines support at 2.0050 and resistance at 2.5320.

The 14 day relative strength index suggests that current downside is limited, while the MACD - V indicator remains in the bullish sector and about to gain upside momentum. Fibonacci 61.8% upside projection target comes in at 3.51, based on the 2.9040 - 1.9230 range, while the 38.2% upside target is 3.278.
