XRP Technical Analysis

XRP surged by 30% to $3.00 but faced a strong subsequent decline.
The head-and-shoulders pattern suggests a reversal, typically indicating a significant downtrend after an uptrend.
The pattern includes:
- Left shoulder: Initial peak around $2.70 in December.
- Head: Higher peak at $3.40.
- Right shoulder: Recent choppy price action.
A confirmed bearish signal requires XRP to drop below the neckline at $2.20.
If so, XRP could fall to $1.20, a potential 50% decrease from recent highs.
Bulls need to push the price above $3.00 to signal upward momentum.
