Amid a turbulent week for crypto markets, which has seen the industry come under serial assault from SEC enforcement actions, all eyes are on Ripple and the upcoming June 13 Hinman-document release date.
With Gary Gensler's SEC now bringing lawsuits against both Binance.us and Coinbase, downside action has dominated the charts in the aftermath of SOL, ADA, BNB, and MATIC being labelled as securities.
One project defying the FUD is Ripple (XRP), which after three years of legal drama with the SEC seems to be heading towards a positive case outcome.
Currently trading at $0.52 (a 24 hour change of +0.76%), upside momentum appears to be gaining for XRP as price pushes up to re-test local topside resistance.
Indeed, the ongoing resistance level around $0.54 has plagued price action since the end of March - and now despite fundamental concerns in the market - XRP appears to be primed to breakthrough.
This comes following 11 days of consolidation at these levels, which provides strong technical under-footing to conviction at the current price.
With the MA20 still sat down at $0.49, bullish momentum appears to be holding with not retest of support here since Monday.
Maintaining bullish form above these moving averages appears to have sheltered XRP from the worst of the SEC's onslaught, with markets eagerly awaiting the release of the Hinman documents on June 13.
Some cause for concern emerges from the RSI indicator, which has failed to cool off from a strong overbought signal despite the lengthy consolidation period.
Reading a bearish 60.55, this oscillator suggest price could need to push down lower ahead of a future upside swing.
The MACD provides some contrast to this, with the rival indicator reading a bullish signal at 0.0028.
