March XRP Price Prediction – A 50% Ripple Rebound After the February Decline?

(%)
MARKETS TREND

It seems like the retreat in XRP might be over with February after the reversal in the last day, which suggests a Ripple rally in March.

Following a strong bullish run in late 2024 and early 2025, XRP saw a significant decline in February. The cryptocurrency had surged nearly 700% to a peak of $3.40 by mid-January, fueled by Donald Trump’s election victory and the appointment of a more crypto-friendly SEC chairman.

However, early February brought turbulence across financial markets after the launch of Low-cost DeepSeek, which triggered a selloff in risk assets, including stocks and cryptocurrencies. XRP/USD briefly fell below $2, but a strong rebound from the 20-week SMA (gray) indicated solid support around the $2 level.

Despite repeated attempts, buyers struggled to push XRP back above $3, and selling pressure persisted. Earlier this week, the XRP price dropped to $2.06, but strong demand near the $2 support zone helped stabilize it.

While the broader crypto market faced deeper losses—Bitcoin slipping below $80K and Ethereum nearing $2,000 (down 60% from its highs)—XRP displayed resilience, experiencing comparatively smaller declines.

March Reversal in Sight?

Today, XRP briefly dipped to $1.97 before bouncing back 20 cents higher, forming a bullish hammer candlestick by the day’s close—a potential sign of a trend reversal as March begins. Given the improving sentiment in the crypto market, a push above $3 seems increasingly likely this month.

SEC Regulatory Developments Favor Ripple

The SEC’s case against Ripple has significantly weakened since 2023, when Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP does not qualify as a security. This landmark decision has played a crucial role in shaping the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies, leading to broader implications for the industry. Over the past few months, regulatory pressure on the crypto market has also shown signs of easing, adding to the positive sentiment surrounding XRP.

The SEC has either paused or entirely dropped investigations into several major crypto firms, including Coinbase, Uniswap, Gemini, and Robinhood Crypto. These developments suggest a shift in the agency’s enforcement approach, moving away from aggressive crackdowns. In addition, Consensys reached a settlement that resulted in the complete dismissal of its case, further signaling a changing regulatory tone. Meanwhile, the high-profile lawsuit against Binance has been postponed for 60 days, hinting at potential behind-the-scenes negotiations or reconsiderations in how the SEC handles crypto-related legal matters.

With both regulatory uncertainty decreasing and broader market conditions improving, XRP is in a strong position for a rebound in March. Investor confidence is growing as legal pressures subside, and market dynamics suggest a renewed push higher. If buying momentum picks up, a rally above $3 could be well within reach, marking a significant recovery from February’s pullback and reinforcing XRP’s position as a key player in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
