XRP Stuns Crypto Market with Massive Gains

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience in the volatile world of cryptocurrencies, I must admit that I find the performance of XRP quite intriguing. After witnessing its price rally following the summary judgment in the SEC v. Ripple case and subsequent retracement, it’s fascinating to see it reclaiming the $0.6 level yet again.


As an analyst, I’m observing that XRP, often associated with Ripple, is demonstrating superior performance compared to the wider cryptocurrency market yet again.

According to data provided by CoinMarketCap, XRP is up 6.16% over the past 24 hours. 

Among the top 100, it ranks as the second-highest performer, trailing only Aave’s AAVE token. Meanwhile, Neo (NEO), Tron (TRX), and Sui (SUI) have all seen notable increases in value over the last 24 hours.

After adding 2.3% over the past hour alone, XRP managed to reclaim the much-coveted $0.6 level.  

According to U.Today, XRP has developed a golden cross formation in its chart. This indicates that the token’s short-term moving average has climbed above its long-term one, which is often seen as a bullish signal. However, it’s important to note that this pattern can sometimes be delayed, so it might not always accurately predict immediate price movements.

Around the first week of August, the price of XRP saw a significant surge following the announcement of a summary judgment in the much-anticipated SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit. On August 7th, the token’s value increased by approximately 27%.

Some experts had accurately foreseen that this surge wouldn’t last long. By August 11th, the XRP price dipped down to around $0.54, experiencing a drop of approximately 15%.

Now, it remains to be seen whether XRP‘s renewed momentum can actually be sustained by the bulls. 

To date, XRP has experienced a surge of 41% following its lowest point on August 5, which was $0.43 on the Binance exchange amidst the widespread cryptocurrency downturn.

In my analysis, I’ve found that Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s leading attorney, has stated that the legal standing of XRP wouldn’t be at risk should the Securities and Exchange Commission decide to appeal the current case.
