The price of Ripple has continued to rise over the past two days, bringing joy to the cryptocurrency community. Now it seems that XRP's downward trend that started on March 12 may be coming to an end. The price of XRP has increased by 48% over the past two days. As of the time of writing, Ripple is trading at $0.58209.

Ripple’s Historical Importance

In December 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs, claiming that XRP is an unregistered security. On July 13 last year, the court ruled that XRP is not a security, and Ripple won a major victory. Historical data shows that after this ruling, the XRP token rose by 100%. Moreover, on the anniversary of this ruling, the token received another boost of 48%.

An important point here is that the weekly chart shows that if XRP breaks above $0.65 in the coming days, it will resume its uptrend and find support from the weekly trendline.

Messari data shows that XRP has been a profitable asset over the past year. From its lowest point in the downtrend of $0.122 (March 13, 2020), it has risen by 377.56%. However, it is still 82.28% below its all-time high of $3.29 (January 4, 2018).

Conclusion

Currently, all indicators of charts and on-chain data support a surge in XRP’s price, but the crypto community is waiting for Ripple’s victory in the SEC case. Experts believe that once Ripple overcomes this lawsuit, nothing can stop it from reaching $10. In addition, many institutions may start accepting Ripple, and after the Solana ETF, we may also see a Ripple ETF.
