My people! What's up, pals! Are you ready to gossip a bit about XRP? Because this is getting interesting, and Brad Garlinghouse, the head of Ripple, dropped news that has everyone on high alert!

Look, the thing is that the crypto market woke up a bit down today, and XRP didn't escape it. It dropped 2.7% and is now at $2.23. Just imagine! Even the trading volume plummeted by about 27%. This means that people seem to be thinking twice before putting money in, and interest in XRP futures also dropped by 4%. It's a sign that the hype for this crypto has cooled down a bit. 📉

But pay attention, not all is lost, not at all! Although it has dropped 1.2% this month, if we look at the week, XRP has risen more than 6.5%. That's no small thing! And in the last 24 hours, it's been on a roller coaster, touching $2.31 and dropping to $2.21. Crazy! The RSI, which is like a thermometer to see buying and selling strength, is at 53, which tells us that more people want to buy than sell, so watch out, a rise could be coming soon! 📈

Can XRP break the resistance and soar?

Now, here comes the good part. Experts are watching XRP's movements closely. Our buddy Ali Martínez, who knows a lot about this, says that XRP is forming a pattern that looks like an 'inverted head and shoulders.' And if this confirms, get ready because XRP could jump 15% and reach $2.65! Just imagine! For that, it needs to break the resistance of $2.3.

Another report out there says that XRP needs to hold firm at $2.16 and break $2.25 to keep rising. So everyone needs to stay sharp with those numbers!

And to top it all off, analyst Dark Defender compared the current situation of XRP with what happened in February 2023. He says that XRP has found its floor at $2.22 and $2.07. And for things to get good and see that XRP at $3, it needs to break the resistances of $2.33 and $2.46! Fingers crossed! 🙏

Breaking news from the head of Ripple that lit the fuse! 💥

But the cherry on top was put by none other than Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple. He dropped a bombshell that has everyone happy! It turns out that Ripple is requesting a national bank charter from the OCC. What does this mean? Well, it would give them both state and federal oversight, a serious thing!

This is big news, a giant step! Because this way, Ripple could have reserves of its own stablecoin, the $RLUSD, directly with the Fed. That's like having an extra super security lock! And the fact that they are seeking a Fed Master account shows that Ripple is serious about building a solid and secure infrastructure. 💪

With Congress moving to regulate cryptocurrencies, Ripple's proactive approach to seek regulation is a master move that gives investors more confidence. And the stablecoin market, which is already $250 billion, can benefit a lot from this vision of Ripple!

So, my people, even though XRP has its ups and downs, it seems the path is upward. Let's keep an eye on those levels and the upcoming news! Because this crypto thing always has a surprise for us. 😉$XRP
