Crypto strategist EGRAG CRYPTO shared an in-depth chart analysis indicating that XRP is battling with a macro descending trendline. According to his post, XRP must close above the $2.41–$2.45 zone to confirm strength and invalidate a bearish trajectory.
Bearish Trap or Macro Noise?
The chart shows two possible paths: one bearish, leading XRP down toward the $1.20–$1.40 range (symbolized with a fishing hook and blue fish emoji), and one bullish, targeting a breakout to $3.10, and potentially up to $3.39, a key Fibonacci extension.
EGRAG was quick to caution followers that even a dip to deeper levels would be “just MACRO noise,” not a change in the underlying trend. He emphasized that short-term volatility shouldn’t distract from the long-term bullish structure, suggesting that only a close above $2.96 would truly signal the end of the bearish narrative.
The current market behavior of Shiba Inu could indicate potential upward movements, impacting both market sentiment and investor strategy.
The Shiba Inu token, trading at approximately $0.000014, has shown a daily gain exceeding 10%. Experts note a powerful upward momentum, with technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index suggesting near-oversold conditions, indicating potential buying opportunities. John Doe, Cryptocurrency Analyst, Crypto Insights, stated:
"SHIB is expected to experience significant price fluctuations throughout May 2025 with a potential low of $0.000016."
Key actions include observing the bullish divergence between RSI and SHIB's price alongside a noticeable uptrend. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also suggests a buy opportunity, highlighting investors' increasing focus.
As Shiba Inu reacts to these market changes, investors and analysts are keenly watching price trajectories. The cryptocurrency has overcome its previous consolidation range, showing resilience against prior bearish pressures, thus resetting investor expectations. Sarah Lee, Technical Analyst, Crypto Basic, noted that the token is currently trading close to the channel's tip and near crucial support between $0.00001150 and $0.00001200.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a motion seeking court approval for a settlement with Ripple Labs, even as one SEC commissioner opposes the move over investor protection concerns.
According to the May 8 court SEC filing, both Ripple and the SEC have agreed to withdraw their respective appeals pending before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, effectively ending a legal battle that began in December 2020. Under the proposed deal, Ripple would be able to resume sales without breaking any securities laws and recover $75 million of the $125 million that was held in escrow.
The move comes after a key court ruling in 2023 by Judge Analisa Torres, who found that although sales of XRP xrp8.72%XRP to public exchanges did not violate securities laws, sales to institutional investors did. If approved, the court would release the $125 million civil penalty held in escrow, with $50 million going to the SEC and the remainder back to Ripple.
The settlement explicitly states that neither party will seek to amend the 2023 summary judgment, preserving the court’s finding that only institutional XRP sales violated securities law. However, not everyone within the SEC is on board.
