Can XRP price trigger a 9% recovery rally after US Treasury Department called for SVB depositor reimbursement?

XRP price is on course to regain all the ground lost since the topple of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) on March 10, after identifying a decisive pivot from which to scale a recovery. The boomerang effect is attributed to reassurances by Ripple Labs CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, that despite some of its cash being held at SVB, the firm “remains in a strong financial position.” 

Other positive influences include the USDC stablecon regaining its peg, according to a recent statement. 

XRP price targets 9% upswing to $0.393

XRP price is trading with a bullish bias after a tumultuous weekend that sent a negative wave across the crypto market. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the subsequent depegging of the USDC stablecoin from the dollar were both catastrophic incidents that worsened the already negative market sentiment. However, following recent developments, investors now have renewed hope.

At the time of writing, XRP price is auctioning for $0.367 with a 26.22% increase in 24-hour trading volume to $1.405 billion. The token’s market value is up 1% in the last day as bullish momentum increases. If buyers increase their presence in the market, Ripple price could ascend to tag the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.381, or the 100-day EMA at $$0.386 resistance levels.

A decisive flip of these roadblocks into support levels could set the tone for XRP price to tag the $0.393 resistance level last visited on March 9 before the two crises hit. Such a move would denote a 9.57% climb from current levels as shown in the twelve-hour chart below.

On the downside, failure to break past the overhead barriers could suppress XRP price further, causing its market value to plummet below the immediate support level at $0.364. A daily candlestick close below this level could invalidate the bullish premise.

In such a case, XRP price could drop to retest the Saturday low of $0.357 or in dire situations, move below the $0.350 level and revisit the $0.341 support level.
