I have used the XRP/USD chart as I found these charts are more reliable than the BTC pairs.
It looks like Ripple is ready for yet another breakout. I myself think breakout from patterns like a pennant or flag are overall very reliable.
Strong support has shown and Ripple tested and rejected the 0.98 USD support line four times in a day.
Target around 1,50 USD
Stop/Loss 0,97 USD
Buy on breakout of pennant with high volume
