XRP rallied on Sunday, avoiding dropping below $0.50 for the second consecutive day, while Ripple has until September 1 to respond to the SEC filing and the SEC has until September 8 to address any response. Capitol Hill is being watched for potential developments in US crypto regulation.
Crypto analysts predict that the price of XRP may reach $0.60 after the SEC's change in strategy regarding Ripple Labs, with data suggesting that large XRP investors are preparing for a potential price rise.
The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) chances of defeating Ripple in court are slim, as experts believe the court has thoroughly studied all arguments over the years and is unlikely to overturn its previous decision. If the SEC does succeed, it could have significant implications for the crypto market, leading to many companies relocating out of the United States and a decline in cryptocurrency prices.
Ripple's recent legal victory against the SEC has brought much-needed regulatory clarity to the cryptocurrency industry, but XRP's price has since declined due to bearish market sentiment and short-term holders offloading their holdings.
### Summary
Ripple (XRP) has seen a significant rise in price due to a bullish trend in the cryptocurrency market, positive news about partnerships, and its growing popularity in South Korea. Financial institutions are adopting Ripple's technology for cross-border payments, validating the utility of XRP. However, caution is advised as the market remains highly volatile, and XRP's future performance is uncertain.
Bitcoin (BTC) price remains stagnant and could potentially slide lower, while Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) prices are also experiencing a lack of activity, which may have negative implications as markets tend to be impatient.
The Ethereum price is currently in a consolidation phase between $1700 and $1577, but a breakout above $1700 could trigger a significant pullback in the downtrend, potentially pushing the price up by 8%. However, if the support level at $1577 is broken, the price could fall by 8.5% to $1450.
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.
Ripple's XRP drops over 5% in the past 24 hours, falling below $0.50, as the SEC appeals a judge's decision in the legal fight against Ripple.
The recent decline in the price of Bitcoin has raised concerns of a larger market downtrend, with Ethereum and Ripple also at risk of falling if Bitcoin weakens further.
Bitcoin price may experience a 10% drop before its next move upwards, while Ethereum could follow suit and fall by 10% as well, and Ripple's price is poised for a significant move after breaking a major trendline.
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.
