Futures market chart trader Peter Brandt notes XRP’s head and shoulders pattern that suggests a breakout above $3.00, with key support at $1.90. If the pattern breaks lower, a measured move to $1.07 could be in play.

Crypto trader Seyma remains bullish, predicting XRP could outperform the broader market and reach $3–$3.24 in the coming weeks.

Crypto trader EuroSniper is short on XRP, expecting a deeper correction before Bitcoin stabilizes.

He will reconsider his stance if BTC reclaims $92,000. He targets the low $80,000s to high $70,000s, aligning with broader weakness.

Community News: In an X post on Wednesday, Ripple's chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty confirmed the SEC has unconditionally dropped its appeal. Ripple will pay only $50 million of the original $125 million fine, with the remaining amount refunded.

The SEC will request the court to lift its previous injunction. The final steps include a Commission vote, document drafting, and court approval.
