SEC vs. Ripple case takes another turn; investors turn bullish

There's only one major takeaway from this Order on the Ripple v. SEC case:

Judge TORRES is getting ready to take over.

In a recent update, Judge Torres ordered three unsealed documents: 172-1, the notice of Brad Garlinghouse's deposition in the SEC formal investigation, 179-4, a Chris Larsen email string, and 179-5, a Brad Garlinghouse email.
Following an order of public release of documents filed on both the SEC and Ripple's side, Judge Torres has granted the payment giant's request to file a response to the motion to strike fair notice defense.
Ripple filed a motion to submit a response on June 7, 2021, following Judge Torres's ruling that it is due on February 9, 2022.
The recent news of Ripple's partnership with Modulr that offers payments-as-a-service combined with the outcome of Judge Torres' ruling has fueled a bullish sentiment among investors.
@DefendDark, a crypto analyst, evaluated the Ripple price trend and predicted a 30% rally as the altcoin eyes target at $0.90. The analyst notes that Ripple has formed a symmetrical triangle and maintaining support at $0.59 hints of an imminent rally in the altcoin.
Hi there all. #XRP formed a symmetrical triangle in the 4H Chart. Please keep an eye on the $0.59 support.

IF this is maintained, XRP can touch $0.75 - $0.90 in 5 days
Supports: $0.59, $0.51
Resistances: $0.63, $0.75
Have a great weekend!#XRPCommunity#XRPArmy#Ripple pic.twitter.com/imfMW82864
