XRP’s price is currently reflecting a nearly 25% gain, with the asset gaining 41% over the past month. On Sept. 18, Ripple Labs filed a motion for summary judgment, according to his defense attorney James K. Filan. Whether or not XRP is a security is expected by mid-December.

From a technical analysis perspective, XRP price is trying to secure a double-day close above the long-term downtrendline resistance, while futures contract volumes and open interest have surged over the last 24 hours. I’m here.

Marcel Peckmann, Market Analyst at Cointelegraph, said:
XRP open interest has increased from $310 million just a week ago to $575 million today.
Traders who have yet to take their positions may consider waiting to see if the 200-day moving average at $0.49 finds support in the next few days’ closes. Day traders and swing traders typically profit at long-term resistance levels. We also expect price refusal and retesting of support after the asset manages a long period of consolidation, price troughs, or breakouts from market restructuring moves.
Crypto analytics data provider TheKingfisher made a similar point by suggesting that buyers likely have opportunities to go long XRP cheaply.
you will probably have the opportunity to lengthen $XRP Lower if that’s what you’re looking for
