XRP/USD 1-hour chart
Ripple is looking pretty bullish on the chart but if you dig deeper you may find that the patterns could be turning bearish. More recently the price has made a lower high lower low pattern. Looking closer at the chart the market might be making a new wave pattern to the downside. The wave 1 and 2 has been confirmed by the price stopping at the 61.8% Fibonacci extension. If this is indeed a new wave pattern then 0.1600 would need to be broken to the downside.
This move could confirm a 3rd wave to the downside. The 3rd wave is traditionally the longest which mean there could be an extended downside move. Of course, this pattern could be invalidated if the previous wave high gets taken out (0.1806).
