XRP has broken from a consolidation channel as price eyes higher levels

With around a 20% weekly increase in value, Ripple’s XRP/USD is easily the top gainer cryptocurrency. Investors remain keen on Ripple’s case with the SEC, in which both sides have called for a quick settlement. Speculations are that Ripple will outwit the regulator in the long entanglement. The gains in the week are mainly a reflection of the positive expectations.

Another key development for Ripple that could have influenced XRP price is the partnership in XRPL projects. According to a September 20 announcement, Ripple partnered for the free-to-play battle royale game on the onXRP ecosystem. The game, dubbed Maladroids, integrates blockchain, with its first level release slated for this month. The news reinforced the positive developments of the SEC case, adding a bullish impetus for XRP.

A breakout candlestick indicates buyers are aggressively boosting their XRP holdings. While Ripple’s win against XRP cannot be ascertained yet, the token is attractive after the breakout.
