The price of Ripple's XRP increased by 5% after the announcement that SEC Chairman Gary Gensler will step down from his role on January 20, 2025, which coincides with Donald Trump's expected inauguration as the 47th President. Traders speculate that Gensler's resignation could lead to a softer regulatory approach for crypto firms, particularly in relation to Ripple's ongoing legal battle with the SEC. Market analysts have identified $1.2 as a crucial price level for XRP, with a breakout potentially sparking a significant rally. Two bullish chart patterns indicate potential price targets of $27 and $10, but risks remain if the $1.2 level fails to hold. Gensler's strict regulatory actions against crypto companies, including Ripple, have fueled speculation about potential changes in the SEC's approach. A positive outcome for Ripple in the lawsuit could lead to broader adoption and significant price gains for XRP. Traders are eagerly awaiting updates on Gensler's replacement and the new SEC leader's stance, which will likely play a key role in shaping Ripple's future. Currently, XRP's price action suggests optimism and the possibility of a bullish breakout.
