The double-digit percentage gains for XRP (XRP) this month may have reached the exhaustion point, reflecting the trends elsewhere in the cryptocurrency market.

This follows the euphoria surrounding Ripple's partial win versus the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, resulting in bullish calls for as high as $15 in the coming months. 

Nonetheless, fractal analysis of XRP's recent candlestick and price momentum patterns hints that a sharp market correction is not off the table, particularly if history repeats.

Notably, certain XRP market signals preceded a 65% price decline in Q2, 2021. These are now flashing again, namely the multi-year descending trendline resistance and an "overbought" relative strength index (RSI), as illustrated below.

The descending trendline resistance (marked as "upper trendline resistance" in the chart above) has limited XRP's upside since January 2018. This price ceiling is helped by another horizontal trendline resistance (purple) near $0.93.
