The resolution transformed XRP into a key player in global payments, with the United Arab Emirates and India agreeing to use the altcoin for oil transactions.
As a result, there has been an increasein anticipation of a bull run, especially as Ripple prepares to pay the SEC.
This development has led to notable changes in XRP’s price action, signaling a shift in the cryptocurrency’s performance.
Ripple’s XRP has shown impressive performance over the past 24 hours, rising by 8% to reach the $0.61 price level. This surge aligns with the formation of a golden cross on the daily price chart.

The overall recovery in the cryptocurrency market is expected to continue, with XRP being one of the main beneficiaries.
A strong move higher is expected soon if the closing price breaks above $0.66. The daily outlook shows that XRP is closing higher and is likely to gain momentum, driven by its performance against BTC.
For eleven consecutive weeks, XRP has outperformed BTC, ETH, and the overall market in terms of dominance.
The recent reversal of a key level, coupled with XRP/ETH being at its lowest level since 2017, suggests that now could be a good time to buy.

The recent closure of the case by the SEC is a major boost for Ripple and the cryptocurrency market.
This positive development should help XRP break out of this long-standing trend, which could lead to a strong recovery in Q3 or Q4 2024.
