The XRP price is once again showing bullishness, even after the altcoin has 
been plagued by dips. This time around, the cryptocurrency is forming a rather 
interesting pattern that suggests a continuation of the bullish rally that 
began back in April. While this pattern is yet to be complete, a total 
formation would be extremely bullish for the altcoin’s price. XRP Price Breaks 
Out Of Yo-Yo Movement So far, the XRP price has been bouncing at support just 
above $2, something that crypto analyst MetaShackle on the TradingView website 
likened to a ‘yo-yo’ movement. In place of this has been a rising bullish 
pattern, which is known as a Reverse Dragon Pattern. Related Reading: 72% Of 
Binance Traders Go Long On Dogecoin, What Does This Mean For Price? This 
Reverse Dragon Pattern has been forming on the daily chart, and history shows 
that this means the XRP price has the potential to rise faster from here. So 
far, the analyst explains that the Dragon head is already forming on the daily 
chart. This is forming above the upper trend line shown in the chart below. 
The next phase of this, if completed, would be a strong upward move as bulls 
regain control. Additionally, MetaShackle predicts “a liquidation candle in 
the general area of the Weak Dojo/Reverse Waterfall line.” The upward movement 
is expected to continue, and as this trend plays out over the next few weeks, 
the XRP price is expected to rise above $3 this month. Analyst Shows Where 
Price Could Be Headed Next While MetaShackle sees the XRP price going up with 
the formation of the Reverse Dragon Pattern, another crypto analyst has given 
possible scenarios that could play out from here besides the bullish one. This 
goes into whether the bulls win, the bears take over, or the current tug-of- 
war for control continues. Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Bullish Path To 
$5 As Long As This Level Holds The first scenario, is if the price breaks the 
resistance at $2.3612. In this case, the crypto analyst does expect the price 
to continue to go up. This uptrend is expected to see it break multiple major 
levels before finally finding resistance at $2.9 again. Another scenario is 
when the bulls break below support at $2.03445, which is yet to happen. This 
could trigger further crashes for the XRP price, and the downtrend could push 
it toward $1.6, where there is support at $1.63339. Last but not least is if 
the bulls and bears continue to vie for control with no clear winner. In this 
case, the crypto analyst believes the sideways movement would continue. &#8220;At 
this moment, there is hidden divergence appearing on XRPUSD as if it will 
strengthen the bearish mood,” the analyst explains. “If the price breaks the 
resistance level, the hidden divergence will be cancelled.” Featured image
