XRP price experienced a prolonged correction on Monday, dipping to a low of $0.43 during a widespread market sell-off. This intensified selling pressure was prompted by a 12% drop in Japan’s index after the Bank of Japan decided to raise interest rates to combat inflation. Although the bearish momentum eased during the U.S. trading hours, the XRP faces a 20% downside risk amid an EMA death crossover and a bear cycle within a triangle pattern.

<a href="https://coingape.com/price/xrp/">XRP price</a> has been on a six-day downward spiral, plummeting from $0.627 to $0.49—a 21.5% decrease. During this period, long position holders faced nearly $30 million in forced liquidations, according to Coinglass data. These liquidations have increased sell orders in the market, intensifying the supply pressure.

Moreover, derivative market data for <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-news-ripple-faces-risk-of-another-sec-lawsuit/">XRP</a> shows an Open Interest (OI)-Weighted Funding Rate of -0.0064. This negative rate suggests that short sellers incur costs to hold their positions, reinforcing a solid bearish outlook and the anticipation of further price drops.

<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-ema-death-cross-imminent-on-daily-chart-span">EMA Death Cross Imminent on Daily Chart</h2> 
Amid the ongoing correction, the XRP daily chart shows the 50-day Exponential Moving Average is poised to break below the 200-day <a href="https://coingape.com/education/exponential-moving-average-how-to-leverage-it-in-crypto-market/">EMA</a>. This death crossover signals a major signal that could accelerate the current bearish momentum.

Though the flattish 100-and-200-day EMAs signal a sideways trend, the coin price trading below them projects the sellers to have the upper hand. 
<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-triangle-pattern-brings-major-support-for-xrp-price-span">Triangle Pattern Brings Major Support For XRP Price</h2> 
The weekly chart reveals that XRP has undergone another bearish reversal within the <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/symmetrical-triangle-pattern/">symmetrical triangle pattern</a>. This chart setup consists of two converging trendlines leading a sideways trend since September 2021. In theory, the ongoing consolidation should serve as a foundation for the prevailing market trend to gather momentum for a significant move. 
If history repeats, the coin price is poised for another 20% drop to retest the triangle support at $0.4. A fall below this support may lead to a major downfall for this asset.

On the contrary, the lower trendline has remained a strong accumulation zone for crypto buyers since December 2020. If the support holds, the altcoin could rise over 50% to a challenged overhead trendline around $0.61.
