NewsletterXRP Price Gains 2.8%, BitBoy Forecasts Major Surge if Trump Makes Key Move
Highlights
- XRP price remains bullish as speculation of Gensler’s dismissal intensifies.
- BitBoy has predicted that XRP will take over meme coins money in the next cycle.
- Speculation as to Gensler’s successor has shifted from Hester ‘Crypto Mom’ Peirce to Mark Uyeda.
XRP price climbed by 2.8% recently as the entire crypto market rallied, fueled by Bitcoin reaching a record-breaking $76,000. At the same time, prominent crypto personality BitBoy speculated that XRP’s value might further increase if president-elect Donald Trump decides to remove Gary Gensler from his role as SEC Chair.
Will XRP Price Pump If Trump Fires Gensler
The recent Trump victory may have more in store for Ripple as multiple crypto commentators, high-profile figures, and a good portion of the crypto community urge President Trump to oust Gary Gensler.
Popular crypto YouTuber and commentator Ben ‘BitBoy’ Armstrong has said that XRP might be among the top 100 coins that pump the hardest. In an earlier interview, BitBoy said all meme coin money will flow into XRP in the next cycle, suggesting that this is the best asset.
On November 6, Ripple CEO also took to the X platform to congratulate Trump on his win and proposed the idea to “Fire Gensler. Day 1, No Delays.” He further proposed Christopher Giancarlo, Daniel Gallagher, or Brian Brooks as a replacement for Gensler.
.@realDonaldTrump, Congratulations!
Some fodder for your first 100-day checklist to get things moving:
– Fire Gensler. Day 1, no delays.
– In his place, appoint Giancarlo, Brooks, or Gallagher – they’d be massive upgrades in rebuilding the rule of law (and reputation) at the…— Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) November 6, 2024
However, speculations suggest that SEC’s Mark Uyeda is more likely to replace Gary Gensler over the earlier speculated Hester ‘Crypto Mom’ Peirce, a commissioner in the SEC appointed there by President Trump in 2018.
The price of XRP hovered around $0.5515 during New York pre-market hours after gaining 6% in the past week.
How High Could XRP Price Go If Gary Gensler Is Dismissed?
XRP rallied to $0.5739, its highest in 30 days, as Bitcoin soared to a new high above $76,400 following Trump’s election victory. This boosted the overall crypto market sentiment.
XRP price failed to sustain above the $0.55 resistance level and retraced to its current price. However, the Average Directional Index (ADX) is at 29.61, suggesting that volatility is still increasing. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 65.72, near the overbought region, but still has room to move. This could provide the boost needed to propel XRP above the resistance level.
If the price of XRP breaks close above the $0.55 resistance, it may trigger a short-term rally to $0.66, which coincides with a multi-month resistance that will take some struggle to beat. However, beyond that, XRP could soar to $0.94 or even $1.
If bears push the price below $0.5, the current bullish thesis would be invalidated. Despite past setbacks, Ripple’s regulatory clarity has improved, but its market performance lags behind that of peers like Solana (SOL) and Binance Coin (BNB).
Some skeptics argue Gensler’s removal may not spark significant XRP gains as hoped by BitBoy and others. Still, the community remains hopeful of the massive impact of Gensler’s resignation on XRP’s future price trajectory.
