Quick overview

XRP price prediction: XRP hovers near $2.20 as the SEC’s June 16 deadline nears. Will Ripple’s legal saga end or extend? Breakout ahead as triangle tightens.

XRP is getting volatile as the SEC has until June 16, 2025 to file a status report in the Ripple case. This 60 day window given by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals was for both parties to negotiate or update the court. With 12 days to go, everyone is speculating what the SEC will do and how it will impact XRP’s legal standing and price.

Attorney Bill Morgan called this date an inflection point. Legal opinions are split. Some think there will be a settlement under pressure, others extended appeals. And now attorney Justin Keener has filed a motion for “clear evidence” adding more complexity to the case.

Mixed Signals from Legal Experts

The crypto legal community is divided. Andrew Balthazor of Holland & Knight LLP says if there was an easy solution the parties would have already filed. Keri Axel of Waymaker LLP thinks the pause can still lead to a resolution citing the frequency of settlements during the appellate stage.

These conflicting opinions highlight the broader regulatory uncertainty in the crypto space. Whatever happens or doesn’t happen will set a precedent for how digital assets like XRP are treated under US law going forward.

Key points to watch:

June 16: SEC’s status report deadline.
Scenarios: Settlement, appeal continuation, or more filings.
Legal motions: Demand for clear evidence may impact court dynamics.

XRP Price Analysis: Coiled for Breakout

As of writing XRP/USD is trading at $2.20 with a 24 hour volume of over $2 billion and is #4 on CoinMarketCap with a market cap of over $129 billion. The price is in a symmetrical triangle on the 2 hour chart and is about to breakout.

Price is compressing between a descending trendline and an ascending base. The $2.20-$2.21 zone is the battleground. A 2 hour close above $2.211 could open up to $2.2325, $2.2644, $2.2835.The MACD is flat, no conviction from bulls or bears—a classic sign of a volatility spike.

Trade:

Bull trigger: Above $2.211
Targets: $2.2325, $2.2644, $2.2835
Risk zones: Below $2.18, look for drops to $2.1505 or $2.1170

Until we get confirmation, sideways action. The breakout will be on a legal or technical close above the triangle.
