Legal Dispute Update with SEC – Raising Investor Optimism

XRP makes strong strides in price increases
On the daily chart, the price of XRP is noted to have rebounded after experiencing a price drop. The bulls are targeting to break the key resistance detected at $0.4306 and once this is done, XRP could reach $0.49.
XRP expressed optimism as it targeted the critical support zone of $0.392. This indicates signs of weakness of the buyer. However, this will also invalidate the bullish thesis and bring back strength to the bears. If this happens, the XRP price could drop and return to the critical support zone at $0.38.
XRP is expected to move with strong strides despite the obstacles that the cryptocurrency market has experienced. The bullish trend is associated with the strong developments that are happening in the legal battle between Ripple and the SEC.
Although both the SEC and Ripple agreed to a ruling, Ripple seemed more confident that it would win after several tweets by Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s legal counsel, saying that the SEC could not meet the Howey Test set by the Supreme Court. The Howey test helps regulators evaluate and classify an asset as a security.
Furthermore, Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, firmly believes that the SEC may not be interested in complying with the law but will want to redo the law.
