Why is Egrag Crypto Bullish on XRP Price Ahead?
Technical Tailwinds
Following the recent crypto bullish rebound led by Bitcoin (BTC), the XRP price has broken out of a descending triangle in the daily timeframe. The large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $300 billion, is now well-positioned to rally upward in the near term.

The midterm bullish sentiment has been confirmed by the MACD indicator, whereby the MACD line recently crossed above the Signal line and the Zero line amid growing bullish histograms.
Legal Clarity in Major Jurisdictions
The XRP’s bullish momentum has been bolstered by its legal clarity in major jurisdictions led by the United States. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) withdrawal of its lawsuit against Ripple could also contribute to the rally.
Meanwhile, the crypto market is awaiting the final approval of the CLARITY Act by the Senate, especially after President Donald Trump enacted the GENIUS Act. The XRP ecosystem is well-positioned to benefit from these two legislations, especially as the XRPL explores decentralized finance (DeFi) development.
