The fall came during a broad selloff in the crypto market, triggered by over $1 billion in liquidations. This marked the asset\u2019s lowest price in over a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 24-hour trading volume crossed $11.1 billion, with a sharp wave of selling pressure hitting during the early hours. During that time, XRP recorded 436.98 million units traded in a single hour \u2014 the highest hourly volume this quarter.

Since then, it has gained more than 66% before entering a sideways range. Crypto King\u2019s chart outlines three phases: accumulation, manipulation, and expansion. Current price movement suggests XRP may be starting the third phase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A separate chart shared by CryptoBull <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoBull2020\/status\/1956140282808033467\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shows<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> XRP trading inside a symmetrical triangle pattern on the 4-hour timeframe.
