• XRP has maintained a bullish resilience in recent times with prices holding steady at $0.5 support.
• With the Ripple and SEC lawsuit coming to a close soon, more upside lies ahead for XRP.

XRP, the cryptocurrency closely associated with Ripple Labs Inc has been navigating within the confines of a symmetrical triangle pattern since the latter half of 2023, creating anticipation and speculation among investors for a comeback to the $1 mark.

Technical Analysis of XRP

According to current data from TradingView, a comprehensive analysis of the daily chart reveals a downturn in XRP’s price following a successful pullback to the broken 100 and 200-day moving averages. 

Currently trading up 1.10% to $0.5317, XRP faces a decisive support region between the static support level of $0.5 and the lower boundary of the multi-month triangle. This support range, if robustly defended, could impede further downward movements. However, an impending breakout looms as the price approaches the narrow range of the triangle.

A successful break below this crucial triangle could initiate a substantial downward trajectory for the coin, injecting fear and uncertainty into the market. Conversely, a break above the upper boundary would signal a renewed bullish trend, targeting the pivotal resistance at $0.7.

Zooming into the 4-hour chart reveals an impulsive downtrend, emphasizing the dominance of sellers. Yet, the price has now reached a pivotal support region defined by the multi-month ascending trendline and the static support range of $0.5. The historical role of the trendline as robust support suggests heightened demand, raising the potential for a reversal and a possible mid-term bullish trend.

However, a sudden break below this critical support range could lead to a substantial decline, targeting the next crucial support level at $0.48. In such a scenario, the $0.5 support region would transform into a formidable barrier, initiating a consolidation stage between the support region of $0.48 and the mentioned resistance at $0.5.

One of the most notable hurdles for Ripple and XRP has been the SEC lawsuit filed in December 2020. The SEC alleged that XRP is a security and that Ripple conducted an unregistered securities offering by selling XRP. This legal battle had a severe impact on XRP’s price, causing it to plummet. However, US District Judge Analisa Tores ruled in favor of Ripple, in July last year, stating that the sales of XRP on exchanges do not constitute securities on exchanges.

Ripple XRP Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Despite these challenges, Ripple and XRP have shown remarkable resilience. The company has continued to forge partnerships with financial institutions and introduction of its Ripple Payments solution which aims to revolutionize cross-border payments. Additionally, the recent settlement between Ripple and the SEC has brought a sense of clarity to the regulatory landscape surrounding XRP.

Several positive developments suggest that XRP may be on the path to recovery. Recent speculations suggest a potential launch of an XRP ETF, supported by Ripple’s recruitment of key positions.  

However, FOX News reporter Eleanor Terrett highlighted the necessity of developing a futures ETF before launching a crypto spot ETF, especially for XRP. This strategic step not only eases the path to spot ETFs but also reinforces the legitimacy and stability of the crypto market.

In all, XRP looks ready for an ultimate retest of the $1 price level in the long term.
