In the volatile crypto market, the XRP token has caught the attention of many analysts and investors. The token's rapid market capitalization increase from $0.37 to $0.57 within a span of five days in March propelled interest and speculation around the token. However, as news of the pending lawsuit between the SEC and Ripple surfaced, XRP experienced a dramatic decline back to $0.49. Despite the recent hiccups, CoinMarketCap members have predicted XRP's average price to be $0.4717 on April 30 through 1,574 community votes, which have been found to have a historical accuracy of 89% over the last six months. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $0.50 and its total market capitalization is estimated at $26 billion.

Potential for a massive price surge is not out of the question for the XRP token. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggested that if XRP manages to secure a three-day candlestick close above the $0.54 level, it would result in a 47% price increase and possibly propel the token's price to $0.80. Sucha surge would provide a significant recovery to the token which has seen both ups and downs.

Despite these indications, the SEC is continuing to back its motion of summary judgment with a new filing of a letter of supplemental authority on April 11. This fresh argument could change the sentiment of Ripple's chances in the case and have an impacting effect upon XRP. Thus, it is important investors to assess their own risks carefully before investing in crypto.
