Nobody in the XRP community expected the SEC to cancel a meeting behind closed doors on July 18 without giving any reason. Some people think this move has something to do with the approval process for spot
There has been an obvious shakeup in the cryptocurrency market because of the sudden about-face. XRP, Ripple’s native coin, fell 8% to $0.58, its 24-hour low. Trade volume was down as well, yet it rose 20%, showing investors’ interest amid uncertainties.
There is a lot of talk in the market that the might have something to do with the process of approving spot Ethereum ETFs.
Some of these funds have already been given preliminary approvals and were supposed to start trading next week. The US regulator may have canceled the meetings as a smart move in light of these events.

Market Experts Keep A Close Eye On The Altcoin
Technical experts are paying close attention to how the price of XRP changes in this unstable market. Javon, a renowned analyst, that resembles XRP’s recent bull run.
The symmetrical triangular pattern expanding since 2018 matches the 2014–2017 trend. The first pattern led to a rapid rise that sent XRP from about $0.005 to a staggering high of $3.347, a rise of almost 43,000%.

If the past is any indication, another rise could be coming soon. According to Javon’s prediction, the price of XRP could climb to a level above $237. Even though this prediction is very high, it fits with how things have been in the past and shows that things could go up from where they are now.
XRP: Resistance And Support
The technical indicators at hand provide XRP buyers with a mixed bag of data. In terms of support, the altcoin is still higher above the 50% Fibonacci retracing line and the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. Strong support is spotted at $0.5820 and $0.5850. These figures are quite significant as they highlight major areas where the price may settle and maybe even rise.

On the other hand, the coin meets strong opposition at different levels. Right now, there is resistance around $0.620. There are also bigger blocks at $0.6350, $0.6420, and possibly even $0.6550 and $0.680.
If there is a clear break above these support levels, more gains could happen. But if XRP fails to break through these levels, there may be a drop to the downside. The price is likely to find support near $0.600, and it will likely go down even more if it falls below $0.5850.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
