The price of <a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> has broken away from the general <a href="https://finbold.com/guides/cryptocurrency/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> market, with the token finding renewed <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/bull-market-definition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bullish</a> catalysts from the long-standing <a href="https://finbold.com/ripple-v-sec-court-case-update-as-of-march-20-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">legal battle</a> between <a href="https://finbold.com/topic/ripple/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple</a> and the Securities Exchange Commission (<a href="https://finbold.com/topic/sec/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC</a>). XRP’s newfound momentum has resulted in the token reclaiming a new <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/support-and-resistance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">resistance</a> position.In particular, <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/how-to-buy-ripple-xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> is trading at $0.45, a value representing gains of 20.54% in the last 24 hours. On the weekly chart, XRP is up 16%.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/17174deece534a698815f12614e41573.png" />XRP one-day price chart. Source: CoinMarketCapThe current price action means that XRP is trading at its highest level since last year, November and after a long consolidation phase below the $0.40 level. XRP’s market cap stands at $22.64 billion after an inflow of $2.86 billion in 24 hours.<h2 id="header-0">Drivers for XRP rally</h2>Although XRP has mainly traded in tandem with the general market, which is currently experiencing bullish momentum, the exceptional growth can be linked to the growing optimism about Ripple emerging victorious in the case. This follows a series of positive developments in favor of the <a href="https://finbold.com/topic/blockchain/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain</a> company ahead of the summary judgment.For instance, XRP investors found new hope after the recent Letter Notice of Supplemental Authority filed by the defendants in the case. The filing revealed by attorney James Filan in a <a href="https://twitter.com/FilanLaw/status/1637882356508794884" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tweet</a> on March 20 indicates that the defendants sought to support their fair notice defense by referencing a separate legal case where Judge Michael E. Wiles of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York rejected SEC argument, ruling that it was too vague.Ripple has argued that the lack of clear guidance from the SEC on navigating securities laws for digital assets has created confusion and uncertainty in the market, making it difficult for participants to understand how to comply with regulatory requirements. At the same time, Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, remains optimistic that the lawsuit will be resolved in the first half of the year.The lawsuit’s outcome could significantly impact the broader cryptocurrency industry, which has been in limbo due to the lack of regulatory clarity.Besides the lawsuit developments, the Ripple community is also buoyed by an assurance from Garlinghouse that the company was in a strong financial position. This followed the collapse of <a href="https://finbold.com/three-key-takeaways-from-the-silicon-valley-bank-collapse/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Silicon Valley Bank</a> (SVB), to which Ripple had exposure.<h2 id="header-1">XRP technical analysis</h2>XRP’s ongoing price rally has also translated on the <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/technical-analysis/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">technical analysis</a> retrieved from TradingView. A summary of the one-day gauges recommends the ‘buy’ sentiment at 15 while <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/moving-average/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">moving averages</a> are for a ‘strong buy’ at 14. However, <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/stochastic-oscillator-definition/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">oscillators</a> remain neutral at 8.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/c7d488c5180d4f99a5c78e66c3fbfb42.png" />XRP technical analysis.
