The sudden buying pressure in the crypto market encourages XRP price for a bullish breakout from the flag pattern. This pattern consists of a bull rally market by a long pole and a minor correction face between two downsloping trendlines. Thus, the technical step-up offers a directional rally target the same distance as the length of the pole.

Key points: 

• Low volume retest to the breach trendline indicates the traders are betting on long position trade.
• The crucial EMAs(20, 50, 100, and 200) trading above the coin price creates multiple resistance against a price rally.
• The intraday trading volume in the XRP price is $807 Million, indicating a 27% loss.

Amid the recent uncertainty in the crypto market, the XRP coin showed a minor correction from the $0.41 resistance. However, the daily technical chart revealed this minor pullback was a part of a flag pattern.

In theory, this bullish continuation showcase a minor retracement between the two downsloping trendlines. This correction phase absorbs the excessive buying pressure and prepares buyers for the next bull run.

With the recent less-than-expected CPI data, the crypto market witnessed a sudden buying pressure on December 13th. As a result, XRP price jumped 3% and gave an upside breakout from the patterns resistance trendline. 

By press time, the XRP trades at the $0.39 mark and shows a retest to the breached trendline. Furthermore, a long-tail rejection attached to the daily candle with decreased volume indicates price sustainability above the new flipped support.

Therefore, a post-retest rally may drive the price 30% higher to the $0.5 mark.

On a contrary note, a daily-candle closing below the breached trendline will undermine the bullish thesis.
