Since 10 months XRP is in a consolidation area between 25 and 60 Cents and it looks like the same situation it had around December 2016 (not 2017!) but with a considerably lower volume.
According to my Elliott counting it is still in final subwave C of wave (4) and the market is deciding where C should end.
Therefore it has formed a descending triangle which most of the time is bearish but can also become extremely bullish the longer it remains in the lower right corner of that triangle and the more the volume rises in this area. A bearish outbreak of that triangle could lead to a final C target around 2.4 Cents (be aware!).
I am not convinced this triangle is bearish as we can observe a slightly rising volume and a former outbreak of this triangle to the upside in the week of May the 13th (resulting in forming just a longer triangle at the moment). Instead, it is more likely we see a similar bear trap as in February/March 2017 which results in a parabolic movement to the upside afterwards. This bear trap would end near the legit area of former wave 4 around 16 Cents, forms a new upward channel (shown in red) and gives us an idea of the final targets.
The rest is explained within the chart itself.
