XRP price is witnessing increased volatility after Trump took a lead in the U.S presidential election. According to a leading analyst, XRP has shifted from accumulation and is on the way to entering a breakout zone which could catapult it to above $2.

The price of XRP jumped 3.3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.5558 after Bitcoin gained momentum and broke its previous all-time high. BTC price is up 0.4% in the same duration and is currently trading at $74,817.

Will XRP Price Surge If SEC Chair is Dismissed?

One of the top reasons why the recent Trump win is phenomenal for XRP price, is the potential the re-shuffling of the SEC leadership which would bring favorable regulations to the crypto world and to Ripple.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse urged the president-elect of the United States Donald Trump after his win to relieve current SEC Chair Gary Gensler of his office effective immediately he is sworn in. Garlinghouse provided three potential candidates: Christopher Giancarlo, Brian Brooks or Daniel Gallagher.

.@realDonaldTrump, Congratulations!

Some fodder for your first 100-day checklist to get things moving:
– Fire Gensler. Day 1, no delays.
– In his place, appoint Giancarlo, Brooks, or Gallagher – they’d be massive upgrades in rebuilding the rule of law (and reputation) at the…

Hester Peirce (AKA Crypto Mom) could be the potential top pick to replace Gary Gensler in the incoming Trump administration because Peirce was previously appointed as an SEC Commissioner by Trump on January 11, 2018.

Furthermore, there is likely to be wider adoption and approval of Crypto ETFs under Trump administration. Bitwise has already filed for an XRP ETF while Canary Capital has filed for a Solana ETF. These will likely receive approval under a pro-crypto government. These developments could result in the XRP price skyrocketing. 

Ripple Accumulation Is Almost Done

Crypto analyst StephIsCrypto has predicted that XRP is in Phase D of a Wyckoff Accumulation pattern. Phase D is the transitory stage between accumulation (Phase C) and breakout (Phase E), in which there is an increase in trading volume and volatility. This phase usually preceded a significant price upswing.

CEO of Onchain Capital Ran Neuner earlier said that the U.S elections could break crypto. According to Neuner, the elections are created significant volatility in the crypto space with Bitcoin showing huge fluctuations.

He further highlighted that a Trump win would be positive for the market. True to his words, Bitcoin price surpassed its all-time high as new of Trump winning the election broke. Predictions suggest Bitcoin price could run up to $90,000 or higher after the election, and altcoins like XRP would also surge.

However, if Kamala Harris had won, the crypto market would have likely entered a phase of panic selling, especially in altcoins, with investors moving their fund into BTC and ETH, or out of the market entirely.

Either way, the 2024 U.S elections have had huge impact on the crypto space, and the effects will continue to be felt way into 2025.

Key Pattern Predicts 30X Rally For XRP Price

Following Trump’s win in Georgia, His odds increased to 94.3% on Polymarket. Subsequently, BTC price established a new all-time high price. Altcoins such as Solana, Dogecoin and XRP price also jumped. 

The recent price increase has pushed XRP out of a falling channel, which is a bullish reversal signal. The next immediate resistance for Ripple price is at $0.56, which is 4.2% away. Beyond that XRP price could surge 24% to retest $0.66, which also happens to be the top of a multi-month range and the resistance of a multi-year symmetrical triangle. A break above this could send the asset soaring 3,336% to $24.

An analysis of the XRP liquidation map on Coinglass shows there are currently more Long Liquidation leverage trades than Shorts. With $40 million worth of Longs versus 15 million Shorts, XRP traders are bullish on the asset as the imbalance shows they anticipate price to increase in the coming days.

Further analysis of the LM shows there is strong support around $0.5 and $0.52 and $0.492. This means bears will have a hard time breaking below these levels. On the flip side, the only major resistance level nearby is the $0.542, after which, the price could quickly rally to $0.66.
