Highlights
XRP price remains resilient despite recent market corrections, posting a 0.61% increase to $0.58. XRP price has shown significant upward momentum, bringing it closer to key resistance levels. The bullish momentum is driven by Grayscale’s Trust fund launch and XRP return to Robinhood. With buyers maintaining support above $0.50, the coin may attempt a breakout from its multi-year triangle pattern.
XRP is regaining investor attention following several developments initiated after the resolution of its long-running legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A federal judge ordered blockchain solutions provider Ripple Labs to pay a $125 million civil penalty, a significant reduction from the initial demand of $2 billion by the US SEC.
Moreover, the asset management company Grayscale has launched a new crypto investment trust fund for XRP, which allows accredited investors to gain direct exposure to XRP. The Grayscale’s announcement has also sparked speculation of a potential XRP ETF shortly.
Moreover, an X (formerly known as Twitter) User, Luke Thomas, has recently highlighted that Grayscale has removed XRP from its fund following the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple. With only three weeks remaining before the SEC’s possible appeal to the court’s decision in the Ripple case, the Grayscale reintroduction could hint at a limited risk of an adverse SEC appeal.

Over the past three years, the XRP price has shown a sideways trend resonating within the formation of a symmetrical triangle pattern. The chart pattern characteristics of two converging trend lines narrow the asset price in a short range before the traders build sufficient momentum for a decisive breakout.
The XRP price currently trades at $0.58 and is just 4% away from rechallenging the pattern’s upper trendline. An upside breakout from the dynamic resistance would confirm a downtrend bottoming and potential bull run.
The post-breakout rally could chase a potential target of $0.93, followed by $1.41.
On the contrary, the XRP price will prolong its current consolidation if the overhead resistance remains intact.
