XRP Price on the rise

There were no SEC v. Ripple case updates to offer guidance on Wednesday, so it was a quiet day and XRP was at the mercy of case-related talk due to the paucity of updates.

The price of XRP increased quickly in the last two weeks, from $0.37 to $0.49 and from $0.44 to $0.58. It has grabbed the spotlight after its staggering 32% run.

Now, a further 32% run up from the $0.49 level may push the native token to $0.65, the bullish target, if the bullish momentum in XRP’s rise is maintained. In conclusion, a price break over the $0.55 resistance level could lead to a significant rise. Yet, if rejection happens, Ripple’s main support will be the $0.48 region.
