While currently this transaction is fulfilled using the SWIFT payments system, it takes the banks 1 to 4 days to complete one transaction.

XRP Technical Analysis
Immediate Resistance: $0.65
Immediate Support: $0.60
XRP is currently trapped in a tight consolidation zone with resistance around $0.65 and support at $0.60. At the current rate, XRP should give a clear breakout. When compared to other leading and larger cryptocurrencies, XRP has much smaller volatility and a clear indication of an impending breakout with positive news further adding fuel to this positive sentiment.
Experts are also hinting towards the SEC lawsuit to be prolonged towards the first half of 2022. Hence, ripple has shown no sign of weakness on part of expanding its business. At current, a major positive sign would be breaking the 21 day moving average line and trading towards the higher end of the consolidation zone. The MACD indicator on daily charts has not yet generated any sign of weakness or trend reversal.
As such investors are also highly positive about XRP. The only downside is the indecisiveness to breach the consolidation zones and the lack of a full size candle on daily charts.
Based on our XRP price prediction, XRP is showing a far better strength and is showing a potential to breach the $0.65 resistance posed at the higher end of the consolidation zone on daily charts. The consistent generation of green higher high candles on hourly charts shows the investor sentiment. Rising RSI levels towards the 60s indicate buying on a smaller time frame. All it requires is a decent push through either good news or higher participation on the investor’s part.
