However, caution is advised as the market remains highly volatile, and XRP's future performance is uncertain.
The XRP price is currently in a bearish trend, with a potential downward breakout from the bearish pennant pattern leading to a further decline in price; however, a bullish breakout above the upper trendline could trigger a significant rally.
Despite its recent poor price performance, XRP still exhibits bullish tendencies on the weekly chart, with the Golden Cross intact and the potential for a bullish trend if it bounces off the 50 EMA level; however, caution should be exercised as the Golden Cross has shown limitations and is not a reliable standalone indicator.
Ripple attorneys are preparing for the SEC's appeal in the lawsuit, with a focus on the Howey Test and former SEC official William Hinman's speech, while XRP is at risk of closing September with losses based on historical trends and struggles to start an upward trend.
Ripple (XRP) may experience a price increase of 14,200% to 71,400% in the next 4 to 7 months, according to a prediction by Wells Fargo's Treasury Management officer Shannon Thorp, while Dogecoin (DOGE) has seen a decline in value but still has potential, and Pomerdoge (POMD), a meme coin with more utility, aims to surpass Dogecoin's position.

The XRP price outlook is bullish as the asset tests the supply zone at $0.5174, with the possibility of a settlement in the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse's criticism of the SEC and Chair Gary Gensler contributing to the altcoin's recovery.
