XRP, the token powering Ripple’s cross-border money transfer ecosystem, exhibited exemplary performance in March alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, as investors kept the imminent summary judgment on the lawsuit against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the sight glass.
From the lowest price level in March at $0.3372, XRP price exploded 65% to trade new 2023 highs of $0.5847 before correcting to test support at $0.5. Support at $0.5 has been pivotal this week, as XRP tested $0.484 at some point before reclaiming its current position.

On the other side of the fence, declines could liquidate most long positions taken in anticipation of Ripple winning the case.
The path with the least resistance is to the downside based on the position of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator. The sell signal, as observed on the chart above, manifested as the MACD line in
