According to Steph_iscrypto, the XRP/USDT 3-day chart shows price action tightening within a symmetrical triangle pattern, signaling an impending breakout.

Historical price action demonstrates excellent momentum from $0.74 to over $3.80, suggesting potential for major action. A breakout above $2.40 should initiate upside to $5.00–$7.50, and not holding $1.20 support could necessitate lower retests in the area of $0.74. Volume should be monitored very carefully by market participants to ensure confirmation of the direction of the breakout.
