In a major price reversal, Ripple’s XRP has crossed $0.70 levels giving its highest weekly close in three years. In the last 24-hours, the XRP price has surged 17% moving past $0.70 levels with its trading volume shooting 43.54% to $8.8 billion during the same period.
Interestingly, XRP price has surged for the first time after the U.S. SEC slapped a lawsuit on the blockchain startup for the alleged sale of its XRP securities illegally. While Ripple continues to fight the regulator in court, XRP investors have moved past the allegation and willing to participate in the broader crypto market rally.
The last time the XRP price was seen above $0.70 was in November 2020. However, it headed south since then and after the SEC lawsuit in late December 2020, things went completely spiraling downwards. Several of Ripple’s partners started distancing themselves from the blockchain startup to avoid any scrutiny from the SEC.
However, Ripple has claimed no wrongdoing in the matter and continues to hold its ground. The blockchain startup continues to expand its presence in the Asian market. Recently, Ripple acquired 40% in Malaysia-based FinTech startup Tranglo to boost fast and efficient payment solutions in the region. As per the technical indicators, XRP has moved past crucial resistance and is on its way north.
Red resistance region cleared, backtested nicely on the daily, looks good to go. $XRP you are cleared for takeoff 🚀 https://t.co/kbMxCz7O9V pic.twitter.com/FiClRUIkdp
