- Ripple (XRP) edges lower on Saturday as volatility keeps investors on edge.
- However, the downside risk remains intact as the price fails to test $0.80.
- XRP bulls missed the opportunity to capitalize on Friday’s sound bounce back.

XRP looks for bearish reversal
On the daily chart, Ripple (XRP) has been trading lower since the price made swing highs $0.91 as it moves inside the ‘rising wedge’ formation. It is a bearish reversal pattern as the price continues to trade in ‘lower high lower low formation’. As the price tested the lows of $0.67 and $0.622 and is one of the ways to revisit $0.58.
Furthermore, the price remains pressured below 200-EMA (Exponential Moving Average) at $0.85 since December 24. If the price sliced below the 50-day EMA of $0.76 then it could fall toward the lower trend line of $0.58.
On the flip side, if the price is able to break above the psychological $0.87 level then it could move toward the critical $1.0 level.
