XRP surges as Gensler steps down. What's next?
2024-11-22

In a recent update, SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who was pretty stringent on the crypto community, is all set to step down from his position. The president-elect, Donald Trump, in his election campaign had assured to remove him. Still, this move ahead of the induction of the new government is expected to kick-start a fresh upswing within the crypto markets. Soon after this, the Bitcoin price broke out of the range and is about to achieve the milestone; meanwhile, the XRP price launched a 25% rise to secure levels above $1.3. 

The historical pattern suggests the XRP price is trying to follow the previous run, which triggered a massive rally towards the ATH. Presently, the price has broken out from a similar decisive triangle and if it replicates the previous one, then the token may face a small pullback before triggering the next price action. However, the changed market sentiments are expected to revive a strong ascending trend towards the new ATH, probably forming a double-digit figure. 

Meanwhile, the volume remains the major constraint. Previously in 2018, there were a bunch of cryptos for the traders to invest in. However, with the emergence of memecoins, AI tokens, DeFi tokens, etc., the XRP price may not alone attract massive liquidity. Therefore, the bull run may certainly not replicate the previous one, but the XRP price remains primed to form a new ATH close to $5, probably in 2025.
