XRP was one of the frontrunners of the early crypto market alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. It is was one of the pioneers of the early cryptocurrency market, which experienced massive price hikes in early 2017.

Recently, the crypto together with all other cryptocurrencies has been experiencing turmoil and stunted growth because of political, environmental, and regulatory issues.

The decline was expected but it’s not a happy state as it is for crypto traders all over the globe. However, unlike others, XRP seems to be recovering and gaining momentum.

XRP is currently trading at $0.61 after experiencing intraday highs of $0.63. Its bullish comeback seems to have been triggered by favorable investor and technical sentiment in spite of setbacks from a lawsuit by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Ripple was sued by the SEC for selling securities illegally using XRP. Nevertheless, Ripple seems to be winning in market capitalization from this legal battle.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on XRP seems to have come to a maximum point considered as oversold which signals that the heavy selling activity seems to have drained itself dry. With that scenario, investors would normally turn to other entry-point buying opportunities.  

RSI measures current fluctuations or movements in market price to determine whether a specific coin or asset is oversold or overbought.

The technical analysis indicator of RSI with a reading below 30 would mean that the asset is oversold. Investors seem unfazed even with the SEC lawsuit going on.

Ripple operates in the perspective that it has already lost the legal battle because it has been dragging for quite some time now. Nevertheless, Ripple is unbothered.

Instead, the company is confident that they are set for a breakthrough in growth especially outside of the United States. XRP’s expected jump shot would be at 30% in the second quarter this year.

The current buying sentiment climbed to $0.58 which provided solid support in January this year, pushing XRP to go above 50%. XRP/USD tandem on the daily price charts now provides strong support around the $0.58 level.

It signals a lower trendline with the pattern of a descending triangle that is getting bearish going for $0.18 in the next couple of months.

Overall, XRP seems to have benefited from the ongoing legal tussle with SEC. In turn, XRP has become a speculative asset for traders.
