Ripple’s native cryptocurrency, XRP, has been experiencing a strong rally fueled by optimism about a pro-crypto regulatory environment in the US.
Recent comments from top attorneys and market analysts suggest a further 470% rally is fueling up, adding to the bullish sentiment surrounding the digital asset.

Market analyst Ali Martinez recently highlighted a rare technical pattern on the 12-hour chart, the “SuperTrend indicator,” which has turned bullish. Historically, this signal has been followed by significant price surges.
For instance, the last time this indicator flipped bullish, XRP’s price increased by around 470%. Martinez suggests a similar rally could occur again.
Pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan echoed this enthusiasm, pointing to the potential for favourable news in the coming weeks. He emphasized that such developments could further boost investor confidence in XRP.
XRP’s price movements are also tied to ongoing developments in Ripple’s legal case with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Legal experts predict the SEC will file its opening brief on the case by January 15, but market sentiment remains optimistic. There is speculation that the case might settle under the incoming SEC Chair, Paul Atkins, which could provide much-needed legal clarity for XRP.
The regulatory environment in the US is also seen as increasingly supportive of cryptocurrencies. This optimism has grown with Donald Trump’s inauguration, as many expect pro-crypto policies to be implemented.
XRP is currently trading at $2.44, up nearly 3% in the last 24 hours and 14% over the past week, with a trading volume of $4.51 billion. However, it has dipped by 3% every month. Futures Open Interest for XRP has risen by 7%, reflecting strong market interest and confidence in the asset’s growth potential.
Veteran trader Peter Brandt predicted that XRP’s market value could reach $500 billion if specific technical patterns, called “Half mast flags,” are completed in the next six weeks. This would greatly boost XRP’s position in the crypto market.
