- XRP is facing a crucial week as Ripple Labs-linked fundamentals can sway the price.
- Technical indicators remain inconclusive and general market sentiment might play a role is XRP’s next momentum.
Ripple Lab Inc’s associated cryptocurrency XRP is entering an important week marked by price stability, notable events, and key market indicators.
Key Events Lined Up for XRP and Ripple this Week
As indicated in a recent report by FXStreet, Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, together with Markus Infanger, Ripple’s Senior Vice President have been scheduled to speak at the Digital Asset Summit 2024.
Garlinghouse’s discussion on “Why crypto is close to regulatory clarity” and Infanger’s participation in a panel on crypto payments have the potential to sway market sentiment and cause XRP price movement.
Following closely is the XRP Gold Coast conference, which will take place from March 22 to 24, and will feature prominent figures such as pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton, pro-crypto attorney Bill Morgan, and Ripple partner engineer Neil Smith. This conference is important for XRP holders because it provides a forum for discussions and predictions about the cryptocurrency’s future path, which may influence market sentiment.
Furthermore, amidst these two events, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s lawsuit against Ripple approaches a critical deadline on March 22.
As previously reported by Crypto News Flash, the SEC will issue its opening brief for remedies, with Ripple having one month to reply by April 22. The outcome of this lawsuit has implications for the XRP community, and its progress will most likely influence XRP’s price direction in the coming weeks.
While it is not clear when the final judgment will be passed, many legal experts forecast that Ripple has great potential to emerge as a winner. Their predictions are hinged on the premise that Ripple had already secured partial victory back in May, following Judge Analisa Torres’ judgment that XRP is not a security when trading on exchanges.
XRP Stable Above $0.60
As of the latest data from Marketcap, XRP is trading at $0.6021, down by 1.9% in the last day. However, its ability to remain stable above the $0.60 mark indicates resilience in the face of market fluctuations.
Notably, a daily candlestick close above this level could potentially spark a rally towards higher resistance levels, reducing the likelihood of re-testing the $0.57 support.
Also, the red bars on the Awesome Oscillator (AO) indicate that a correction is expected, and the XRP price increase is unlikely to continue. Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 51.90, close to the neutral level of 50. This indicator, however, does not indicate any directional change in the XRP price trend. In this situation, XRP might prolong its decline and test the $0.57 support.
Looking ahead, a daily candlestick close over $0.62 might propel XRP price to the March 11 high of $0.74, making a sweep into the $0.57 support less likely.
