XRP Price Charts Reaction to the News

While such good news is expected to positively affect an asset price movement, this is yet to be reflected on XRP's price charts.

As of this writing, XRP is trading at $2.19. This marks a slight decline from a daily high of $2.249.  If the news of the ETF is finally felt in the market, we could see an XRP breakout of the $2.3 resistance level and attempt a run toward $2.4.

As of now, that direction has not taken shape, and if the decline witnessed on daily charts continues, XRP will drop to $2.138.
