XRP Price Prediction: Ripple Weekly Chart Points to New Highs as Legal Clouds Clear

Ripple and SEC are settling the case for a $50 billion fine, while the XRP weekly chart suggests a bullish move toward new record highs soon.

Ripple’s Legal Saga Nears Resolution

Ripple (XRP) may finally be turning a major corner in its years-long legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Last week, Ripple and the SEC jointly filed a motion to terminate their pending appeals, signaling the possibility of a final settlement. Under the proposed terms, Ripple will pay a reduced fine of $50 million—less than half the $125 million originally placed in escrow in 2023. The majority of that escrowed amount, along with accrued interest, is now being returned.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse welcomed the development, calling it a vindication of the company’s stance and a reflection of changing attitudes under the new White House and SEC leadership. If approved, this agreement could mark a turning point—not just for Ripple, but for U.S. crypto regulation at large. The case’s resolution may set a precedent for clearer regulatory frameworks, increased institutional participation, and renewed retail interest across the altcoin market.

XRP Price Action: Volatility Follows Surge on the Daily Chart

XRP has had a turbulent few months. After surging over 500% in November and peaking near $3.40 by mid-January, the token entered a corrective phase. Prices have since retreated, forming lower highs, and facing resistance from key moving averages like the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). Last week, XRP briefly dipped below a critical support zone at $1.90, only to bounce back after reclaiming the 200-day SMA—a level that continues to provide technical support.

The week started with XRP falling to $1.63 amid broader uncertainty, but regained footing alongside a strong rally in U.S. equities. With major indexes gaining over 10% and tech giants up 20%, crypto followed suit. Bitcoin climbed back above $80,000, helping to lift sentiment across the board—including XRP/USD which gained 30%.

Tariff Relief and Political Headlines Add to Momentum

The market also reacted to geopolitical shifts. U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to freeze trade tariffs for three months gave a lift to risk assets, including Ripple. XRP saw a 30% jump following the announcement, rewarding those who had accumulated during earlier dips.

In early March, Trump gave Ripple another spotlight moment during a speech addressing the proposed National Crypto Reserve, mentioning XRP alongside Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA). That mention sparked a temporary rally from $2.00 to $3.00. However, when it was later clarified that only Bitcoin would be included in the reserve, XRP’s price quickly fell back below $2.00, showcasing the market’s sensitivity to political developments.

What’s Next for Ripple?

While the price action remains choppy, the fundamental outlook for Ripple is improving. With the legal cloud nearly cleared, XRP could attract new institutional interest. The return of escrow funds and a potential settlement offer a fresh start for Ripple, as it positions itself at the heart of crypto regulatory reform in the U.S.

Still, technical resistance remains. Bulls must push XRP above the 50-day and 100-day SMAs to regain full control. With equity markets rallying and Bitcoin maintaining momentum, XRP may yet find the support it needs to reclaim higher ground—especially if regulatory clarity emerges in the coming weeks.

For now, the $1.90 level remains a key battleground, and XRP’s path forward hinges on both political headlines and broader crypto sentiment.
