Meanwhile, the U.S. SEC has submitted their blackout dates for trial in response to the pre-trial scheduling order. The SEC marks their presence throughout the second quarter of 2024, except April 15-19, May 1-7, and May 27-31.
Ripple CEO Brand Garlinghouse and executive chairman Chris Larsen have informed Judge Analisa Torres about their unavailability for trial from April 1 to April 14, 2024. Interestingly, Ripple executives have announced dates that coincide with Bitcoin halving.
Therefore, the trial is likely to happen between April 22-26 or else April end. The SEC will be unavailable mostly in May, with a mid-May order likely from Judge Torres. XRP community believes the interlocutory appeal motion by the US SEC will fail to bring XRP price lower as the SEC loses grip on the crypto market. Also, Judge Torres will rule XRP ODL sales in Ripple’s favor as it is not a security.
XRP Price Rebounds
With the XRP Army and lawyers bullish on Judge Torres ruling in favor of Ripple in the SEC lawsuit. Also, the trial and SEC’s appeal almost a year away, XRP price rebounded from negative sentiment.
XRP price currently jumped 3% in the last 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $0.53. The 24-hour low and high are $0.516 and $0.534. However, the trading volume has decreased by 17% in the past 24 hours.
XRP price is trading below 50-MA and 100-MA. Price needs to break above $0.56 in order to have some upside momentum.
