XRP price rally stalls as Ripple closes the $1 billion GTreasury buyout

The XRP price retreated after hitting a crucial resistance level following Ripple Labs’ recent GTreasury acquisition.

Ripple (XRP) token retreated to a low of $2.1215 from the week’s high of $2.2245. It remains ~42% below the year-to-date high of $3.6680.

Ripple Labs closed that recent $1 billion buyout of GTreasury, a 40-year-old company that helps institutions manage their treasuries well. 

The company hopes that the buyout will enable its enterprise customers the option to access digital asset infrastructure easily. Companies will also be able to unlock idle capital, move money instantly, and open new avenues for growth.

GTreasury is one of the four companies that Ripple Labs has acquired this year. It bought Hidden Road, which is now known as Ripple Prime. 

This business provides prime brokerage, which will be incorporated in GTreasury. It also acquired Palisade, a digital asset custody company, and Rail, a fast-growing player in the stablecoin industry.

Ripple Labs hopes that these buyouts will help it become a unified infrastructure platform that will play an important role in how money moves.

The XRP price also pulled back as investors continued to pile into the recently launched ETFs. Data compiled by SoSoValue shows that the ETFs have accumulated over $207 million in assets this week.

Its inflows stood at $243 million last week, while the cumulative figure stands at $874 million. All XRP ETFs now hold $906 million in assets, a figure that will cross the $1 billion milestone soon.

XRP price technical analysis 

The daily timeframe chart shows that the XRP price pulled back after hitting the descending trendline, which connects the highest swings since October 2.

This trend is part of the formation of the falling wedge pattern, which is a common bullish reversal sign. It has also formed an inverse head and shoulders pattern, a common bullish reversal sign.

The token remains above the strong pivot reverse point of the Murrey Math Lines, which is a bullish sign.

Therefore, the most likely XRP price forecast is bullish, with the next key target being at $2.3440, the major S/R pivot point of the Murrey Math Lines. This view will be confirmed if it moves above the upper side of the falling wedge pattern.
