Ripple has made headlines with its recent collaboration with Archax, a regulated exchange, announced during the $XRP Ledger APEX 2024 summit. This partnership aims to introduce Real World Asset (RWA) projects to the XRP Ledger, with the goal of tokenizing millions of dollars in real-world assets, thereby enhancing Ripple's utility.
Ripple's Strategic Moves Amid SEC Lawsuit
With no new updates in the ongoing SEC lawsuit, Ripple's announcements at APEX 2024 have become the main drivers for XRP's market movements. XRP holders eagerly await a ruling in the case, with the latest development being Ripple’s letter supporting its motion to seal documents containing sensitive financial information. The most recent filing occurred on May 29, 2024.
Technical Analysis: XRP Faces Potential Downtrend
Ripple's price has been on a downward trajectory since March 12, dropping from a peak of $0.7440 on March 11 to a low of $0.4188 on April 13. Currently, technical indicators suggest that XRP could experience further losses, potentially declining another 3% to reach the April 19 low of $0.4665.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows red histogram bars below the neutral line, indicating negative momentum. Additionally, the signal line crossed above the MACD on Thursday, June 6, confirming the bearish trend.
Technical Analysis Chart
Key Resistance Levels and Potential Rally
If XRP manages to close above $0.4955—the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of its decline from March 11 to April 13—it could invalidate the bearish outlook. In this scenario, XRP might rally towards the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $0.5008 and $0.5164. However, once this gap is filled, the altcoin is expected to resume its decline.
Market Sentiment and Investor Caution
Investors are advised to exercise caution, given the inherent risks and uncertainties in the market. Ripple's partnership with Archax and the potential for $XRP
price fluctuations underscore the importance of thorough research and careful consideration before making investment decisions.
