According to the court documents, Circuit Judge José A. Cabrenas granted a joint motion, filed by the U.S. SEC and Ripple to temporarily suspend their appeals amid the case closure. “The parties jointly move to hold this appeal in abeyance, with the U.S. SEC directed to file a status report within 60 days of this order,” the court order noted .

XRP Price Analysis After closing the first quarter in bearish sentiment, XRP has attempted to regain a bullish outlook in the past few weeks. The large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $206 billion and a 24-hour average volume of about $3.45 billion, has been forming a potential reversal pattern in the daily timeframe. The XRP price, against the U.S. dollar, has formed a possible inverse head and shoulders pattern, coupled with a bullish divergence of the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI). As a result, if the XRP price holds above the support level of around $2 and remains above the YTD falling logarithmic trend, a target of between $2.8 and $3 will be achievable.
