Key Takeaways
After years of back-and-forth, the Ripple vs. SEC case is finally over, ending one of the most talked-about battles in crypto.
The XRP price is mired in a bullish trend and is approaching a new all-time high.
Let’s examine the charts and see if that is likely.
The prolonged SEC vs Ripple lawsuit has finally ended.
The SEC and Ripple filed a Joint Dismissal of the Appeals, and following the commission’s vote, the case finally ended.
To summarize the case, the district court ruled that XRP sales are not securities, but the institutional sales violate securities law.
Ripple was hit with a $125 million civil penalty before the case was officially closed.
The positive Ripple news does not end with the SEC decision.
CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced that Ripple has acquired RailFinancial, aiming to become the go-to provider of stablecoin infrastructure worldwide
After briefly falling below the $3 horizontal level last week, the XRP price is creating a bullish engulfing candlestick this week (green icon).
XRP prevented a breakdown, has regained last week’s losses, and is pushing toward a new all-time high price.
A similar retest on a much longer time frame happened on April 7 (black icon), after which the XRP price started the ongoing increase, which coincided with a spike in transaction volume.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) push upward.
The RSI bounced at 50 while the MACD made a bullish cross (black circle), suggesting new highs are on the horizon.
XRP’s shorter-term daily time frame shows that the price is currently in the fifth and final wave of its upward trend after completing a fourth-wave pullback.

Wave five can target $4.23, reaching the 1.61 external Fibonacci retracement of wave four.
A fifth wave extension can take the XRP price as high as $4.78.
Both would present new all-time highs for the XRP price. However, a significant top is likely once the price reaches that level.
The XRP dominance has increased alongside the price.
It surged in July after breaking out from a descending resistance trend line and made its third breakout attempt above 5.50%.

While that was unsuccessful, XRP is gearing up for yet another upward movement, which is likely to succeed since resistances weaken with each attempt.
If it breaks out above 5.50%, the XRP dominance could surge to highs not seen since early 2019.
With momentum building and a breakout imminent, XRP is in a strong position to take on new all-time highs.
Targets between $4.23 and $4.78 are in sight for August if the rally holds.
While it may face a pullback afterward, bulls are clearly in control.
