The USDT Paired Chart
On the USDT paired chart’s daily timeframe, XRP’s price has been moving rangebound inside a symmetrical triangle pattern. The $0.5 level is currently holding the price, preventing it from dropping lower. Yet, the market has also failed to rally toward the 200-day moving average located around the $0.6 resistance zone.
If the asset finally breaks above the triangle, investors can be optimistic that a rise above the 200-day moving average and toward the $0.7 resistance level would be probable.
The BTC Paired Chart
The XRP/BTC pair demonstrates even lower volatility, as the price has been practically moving horizontally. The market has been hovering around the 800 SAT level for almost two months now. Yet, with the long-term trend being bearish and the Relative Strength Index still showing values below 50%, an even deeper decline seems probable at the moment.

The regulator believes this information is crucial to the case, while the company asserted that it has no relation to it.
