I don't understand why people are saying "XRP can't go up because BTC is doing too well"
Do you not understand that XRP and BTC have almost nothing to do with one another?
Most altcoins' performance are in some way tied to the performance of BTC, but XRP does not fall into this category. It is a totally separate and independent blockchain. BTC's price rising or falling is completely irrelevant when looking at XRP.
Because after the price of Bitcoin increased, the price of almost altcoins are decreasing and Ripple is also a part of these atlcoins. Of course, this is only a FOMO and will be end soon, those who said are saying Ripple can not go up just affected by the price of Bitcoin and the FOMO in the market.
Yes, the FOMO is one of price dropper.
Almost all altcoins is left behind and down, down, down cause sell walls is getting bigger and bigger while seeing BTC increase much and much higher
