On Friday, October 7, the broader cryptocurrency market once again came under selling pressure amid the unemployment data coming from the U.S. However, Ripple’s XRP has chosen to look in the other direction gaining 8% in the last 24 hours.

As of press time, XRP is trading 7.3% up at a price of $0.52 and a market cap of $26.1 billion. The recent price jumping XRP comes as the Ripple network growth peaks to a 3-month high. As on-chain data provider Santiment reported:

The current optimism surrounding XRP is also due to the market expecting an end to the SEC case very soon. Also, Ripple holds the edge in this case and seems that it could defend its position of XRP not being a security.

Ripple defendants recently filed the motion opposing SEC refusal to allow two firms the permission to file Amicus Briefs in the XRP lawsuit. Ripple has been clearly pressing hard on every SEC move and looks determined to take the case to its conclusion by the year end.

Ripple’s XRP Can Rally 30% More

Riple’s native cryptocurrency XRP has once again managed to break past its crucial resistance of $0.50 and if the momentum continues further, analysts are expecting the XRP price to rally all the way to $0.66 based on the technical charts. If it sustains $0.50, it could reach next $0.56,$0.61, and $0.66 subsequently.

The last month of September proved to be the best monthly close for XRP in entire 2022. Also, the month of October has been usually good for the broader crypto market. This could also provide a much needed boost to the XRP price.

All eyes will be on the Ripple vs SEC case which could be a major pathbreaking event for XRP holders.
