XRP Price Prediction – Can It Hold Overnight Gains And Reach $0.466 Today?

The XRP price has risen by 0.5% in the past 24 hours, reaching $0.456787. This marks a 2.6% decline in a week and a 1.5% gain in a fortnight, as the altcoin’s value continues to be pulled in opposite directions by wider market pessimism and positive developments in the ongoing Ripple-SEC case.

Even with its losses in the past few days (which are in keeping with rate hike-caused market declines), XRP remains one of the best-performing top-100 coins of the past 90 days, during which period it has risen by around 20.7%. This medium-term momentum is likely to be continued as the market recovers from yesterday’s Federal Reserve-inspired selloff, with XRP on course to regain its seven-day high of $0.479406.

XRP Price Prediction

XRP’s technical indicators highlight how the altcoin remains in a good position, with its 30-day moving average (red) still in the process of rising higher above its 200-day average. At the same time, even with yesterday’s losses, its relative strength index (purple) is hovering around 50, revealing that it hasn’t lost a significant amount of momentum.

In other words, XRP is well-placed to continue rising again as soon as the market shakes off the Federal Reserve’s rate hike from yesterday. Not only does it remain grossly undervalued, but the fact that Ripple’s case with the SEC is entering its end phase will continue driving demand.

Indeed, all available evidence suggests that Ripple will secure a favorable settlement in this case. Most recently, Coinbase applied this week to file an amicus brief in support of Ripple and the latter’s fair notice defence, something which could boost Ripple’s case considerably.

More generally, XRP’s fortunes have been improving ever since the middle of September, when both Ripple and the SEC submitted their own separate motions for summary judgment. This means that the case is closer to ending, and that a settlement will be reached sooner rather than later.

In terms of just how positive a settlement would be for Ripple, there have been numerous judgments over the past year which suggest it could be decidedly positive. For example, Judge Torres ruled last month that Ripple could present two amicus briefs in support of its case, with this ruling coming against the SEC’s objections.

Back in March, the court also upheld Ripple’s right to use a fair notice defense, which the SEC asked to have dismissed. As a result, Ripple can now present evidence supporting its claim that the regulator failed to give it warning that XRP could be regarded as a security.

Short- and Long-Term Gains

Looking at the short term, there’s every chance that XRP could recover in the coming days to reclaim $0.466 and even higher levels. As noted above, its seven-day high is currently $0.479406, so if investor sentiment improves in the wake of the Fed’s decision to raise its base rate by 0.75%, there’s every chance the altcoin could return to such a price.

As for the long-term game, a positive outcome of the Ripple case could see XRP trouble its current all-time high, which is $3.40. Set back in January 2018, it’s arguably below a fair value for XRP, which failed to set a new record high during the 2020-21 bull market, owing to the SEC’s legal action.

A recent poll of 55 specialists produced an average prediction that XRP will reach $3.81 by the end of 2025 if Ripple wins its case. This is likely a conservative estimate, with a return to a wider bull market likely to make a higher price more probable.

It’s worth recalling that Ripple has been able to continue expanding its network even during the case, strengthening XRP’s fundamentals. This suggests that XRP is indeed undervalued, and that a positive settlement will see it surge dramatically.
