XRP price increased by 3.5% less than 12 hours after President Joe Biden announced he was dropping from the 2024 elections. The news, however, triggered a negligible decline in Bitcoin’s price. The XRP/BTC pair dropped 0.79% on Sunday but spiked 2.74% during the European session on Monday. Meanwhile, the Ripple-SEC private meeting scheduled for July 18 will now happen on July 25, coinciding with the start of the Bitcoin Conference 2024. Market participants speculate it could end in a potential resolution.

 XRP Price Chart
 </figcaption>
</figure>
The XRP/BTC price chart has been downward since January. However, the asset established a low in June, from which it surged following a general market recovery. The recent short-term uptrend indicates a potential reversal as the XRP price has risen above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) (green line).
The <a href="https://coingape.com/price/xrp" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">price of XRP</a>&nbsp;analysis shows the crypto asset found a zone of support around 0.0000665 BTC, and a break below this could cement a non-bullish sentiment for the pair. The recent XRP gain against <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin price</a> was found to be resistant at the 200-day SMA (0.0000971 BTC) before retracing. Further resistance also exists around the current price (0.0000882 BTC).
XRP/USD chart also shows bullish tendencies, with the asset trending above the 50-day and 200-day SMA. The XRP price is coming into a zone of resistance around $0.65, and a break above that could catapult it to $0.75 and then to $0.93.
The recent price rise accompanied a spike in trading volume, indicating strong buying interest. However, the volume has slightly decreased during the recent consolidation, suggesting a need for more buying pressure to push past the 200-day SMA.
