looking at XRP, the coin had remained relatively stable from August 2013 when it appeared in the markets, till around March 2017.

this is a period of almost 4 years where XRP was valued at around $0.06 on average of noteworthy mention, is that XRP withstood the Mt. Gox hack of december 2013 that rocked Bitcoin and caused it to plummet 70% from levels of $1,152 (30th November, 2013) to $380 a year later.

BTC would then range between $200 and $300 till late 2015.. BTC did not recover to its $1,000 levels for 3 years.

XRP was not affected by the BTC turmoil then and has shown some level of resilience whenever BTC becomes volatile in the markets.
it has maintained levels around $0.50 for the last few weeks as Bitcoin has gone sub $7,000.
what then can become an outcome, is that XRP will keep rising steadily in the markets to the predicted levels of $4 by mid 2018 and $10 by december.
