What To Expect From Ripple’s Reply As XRP Price Jumps 4%
Ripple vs. SEC: XRP price on Thursday witnessed a 4% upside move defying the broader crypto market selloff. The price increase is a surprise but welcome move by the XRP community. Ripple to file its reply is a key development for the lawsuit now after the SEC opposed Ripple’s motion to strike the declaration of Andrea Fox (Fox Declaration).
The SEC claims the Fox Declaration is a summary report on XRP institutional sales, not an expert report. Also, the SEC argues it is permissible summary evidence under the law, similar to the Ferrante Declaration filed earlier. However, Ripple will likely contest the inclusion of pecuniary harm from the declaration.
Ripple to File Reply to SEC’s Opposition
Judge Sarah Netburn entered a scheduling order regarding Ripple Labs’ motion to strike new expert materials the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) submitted to support remedies and final judgment against Ripple to pay almost $2 billion in penalties.
Ripple is to file its reply three business days after the SEC’s opposition on April 29, as per the order by Judge Netburn. Lawyers claimed the SEC came back strongly against the SEC, but Ripple argument still holds relevance if didn’t dispute the summary of financial records.
The SEC refuted Ripple’s argument and stated Fox did not give an opinion and told what counsel told her to check whether some institutional buyers suffered pecuniary harm as others received higher discounts.
Pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan said the SEC’s argument on pecuniary harm suffered by some institutional buyers is still weak enough for disgorgement.
Ripple is likely to ask the judge to strike the Fox Declaration as it was filed after the discovery deadline. However, it’s up to Judge Netburn to decide whether to include the summary but remove the pecuniary harm statement the SEC included in the remedies-related brief. Also, the defense team to argue related Fox Declaration used by the SEC to seek disgorgement and high penalties.
Meanwhile, the SEC will file a reply on May 6 to Ripple’s claim that the total penalties considering Torres ruling on XRP institutional sales don’t exceed $10 million.

Crypto analyst Behdark has predicted that the XRP price can reach $28. This prediction follows his Elliot Wave theory analysis, which also showed when the crypto will reach this double-digit price target.
When XRP Price Will Reach Double Digits
In a TradingView post, Behdark’s Elliot Wave theory analysis showed that the XRP price can reach double digits by 2026. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the first double digits target for XRP will be $15, after which the crypto could eventually rally to $28. Behdark also provided more insights into XRP’s current price action and why this rally could happen.
First, the analyst mentioned that the XRP price looks to be currently within a running triangle. In line with this, Behdark remarked that wave D might complete its movement by hunting the all-time high (ATH) at $3.84. He mentioned that there could be a price correction for wave E afterward.
Once that XRP price correction happens, Behdrak predicts the next move will be the post-pattern movement targeting a level above $15. This is where the price target of $28 comes into the picture, as the analyst’s accompanying chart shows it is a feasible target for the crypto, although it might not happen in this market cycle.
An XRP price rally to $28 would mean that the crypto would have a market cap of $2.8 trillion. However, Behdrak suggested that this was still feasible. He noted that his focus was on chart analysis and not fundamentals, even though fundamentals are reflected in the chart itself.
Meanwhile, the analyst told market participants that if a clear and identifiable pattern emerges when the XRP price reaches wave E of the triangle, they could position themselves for the main move to double digits.
A Confirmation Of This Double Digit Target
Crypto analyst Dark Defender also recently shared an Elliot Wave theory analysis, which showed that the XRP price could indeed reach double digits. Specifically, the analyst’s accompanying chart showed that XRP could rally as high as $18 when the wave 5 impulsive move occurs.
Interestingly, unlike Behdark’s chart, which showed that the rally to double digits would happen in 2026, Dark Defender’s chart showed that the rally to $18 could happen as early as mid-2025. Meanwhile, the analyst said that the XRP price is currently in the third wave, with the crypto expected to rally to $5 when this next impulsive move occurs.
Afterward, the XRP price is expected to witness a corrective move that will cause it to drop to as low as $4. The next impulsive move after this could send XRP to the $18 target.
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.55, up over 10% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Dogecoin Price Forms Extremely Rare And Bullish High Tight Flag Pattern, What To Expect Next
The Dogecoin price, which has been on a consolidation trend since November 12, has given rise to a rare and bullish chart pattern known as the high tight flag. This pattern, which is like the bull flag, is setting up the Dogecoin price for a significant upward movement.
Analyst Highlights Bullish High Tight Flag Pattern For Dogecoin
Trader Tardigrade, known for his insightful technical analyses, pointed out that the Dogecoin price is currently forming a high tight flag pattern on the daily candlectick timeframe, which is a rarity in technical charting that often precedes explosive price movements. According to his post on social media platform X, the significance of this pattern lies in its implications of a “highly possible significant upward price movement.”
In his words: “#Dogecoin is forming High Tight Flag Pattern 🔥 ‘High Tight Flag Pattern’ stands out as a rare, BUT Extremely Bullish signal that indicates a highly possible significant upward price movement.”
First off, the emergence of this high tight flag pattern means the $1 level is inevitable for the Dogecoin price. The analyst further speculates that the combination of strong price momentum, growing market enthusiasm, and FOMO (fear of missing out) among retail investors is ultimately going to push the Dogecoin price to targets of $5 to $10.
Understanding The High Tight Flag Pattern
The high tight flag is a special bullish case of the bull flag pattern. Both patterns are characterized by a flagpole and a flag/handle. Unlike the bull flag, the formation of a high tight flag follows stringent criteria, which makes it somewhat rate. This criteria is characterized by a sharp price increase of at least 100% over a short period with a maximum of eight weeks. This rapid ascent forms the ‘flagpole’ of the price pattern. In the case of the Dogecoin price, the flagpole was formed over nine days from November 3 to November 12, where it registered a gain of about 180%.
Following this surge, the price enters a consolidation phase, moving sideways or slightly downward, creating the ‘flag/handle’. This consolidation usually retraces no more than 10% of the initial rise and lasts at least five days to a maximum of three weeks.
In the case of Dogecoin, the flag has been in play for the past ten days, with a handle depth of 10%. The pattern is considered complete when the price breaks out above the consolidation range, often leading to further gains.
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.3926, with a 1.88% gain in the past 24 hours. A run towards the first price target at $1 would translate to a 155% gain. Other price targets at $5 and $10 represent returns of 1,170% and 2,440%, respectively, from the current price.
