XRP’s price reaction has remained muted following the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision to drop its lawsuit against Ripple.
The bearish sentiment against the altcoin continues to strengthen, signaling an extended period of potential price consolidation or a downturn.
Ripple’s Legal Win Fails to Ignite XRP Rally—What’s Holding It Back?On March 19, the SEC dropped its appeal and lawsuit against Ripple Labs, ending the five-year-long legal battle. While many anticipated this significant development would trigger a bullish rebound for XRP, its performance has remained lackluster.
Market participants remain overwhelmingly bearish on the altcoin, keeping its price under persistent pressure. The decline in XRP whale accumulation highlights this bearish bias.
According to Santiment, large whales holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP have offloaded a cumulative 20 million XRP, worth approximately $50 million, since March 19.

Moreover, the token’s falling weighted sentiment reflects the bearish pressure in the XRP market. At press time, it is poised to break below the center line at 0.052.

It means that XRP investors are increasingly skeptical about the token’s near-term outlook. This prompts them to trade less, worsening the token’s decline.
XRP at a Crossroads: Rally to $2.61 or Drop to $1.47?XRP exchanges hands at $2.39, trading above the support floor at $2.13. If bearish sentiment lingers, the token could experience a pull toward this low. Should the bulls fail to defend this support, XRP’s price could fall further to $1.47.
