The joint motion by Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to hold the appeal in abeyance has been granted by the Circuit Judge Jose A. Cabranes.

Golden Cross Summoning XRP’s 465% Rally?

The last time a Golden Cross pattern manifested itself on Ripple’s (XRP) two-day price charts, that resulted in a 465% bull run in 4 weeks after the positive XRP case news first came out.

However, that was accompanied by a massive trading volume, outpacing Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) during the peak, while now XRP coin trails SOL by a distance in daily trading volume, netting $2.452 billion & $5.195 billion in 24 hours, respectively.

During the time, it was made known to the public that Ripple is poised to settle with the SEC for a $50 million fine, a considerably favorable ruling in the context that SEC was initially aiming to rip into XRP coin’s parent company for sales of unregistered securities.

As Ripple is looking for an indicative ruling by Judge Torres, this would boost the chances for an initial public offering (IPO) over the next three years, argues lawyer James Farrell on X.

Meanwhile, XRP is consolidating its recent double-digit rebound rally at a very tight range, the Golden Cross structure won’t do much by itself, unless large XRP coin investors, otherwise known as whales, come back with a bigger appetite.

Presently, the large money flow-tracking Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is flashing way below zero, losing buying momentum since April 15, 2025.
