I guess they already had huge announcement regarding their new emerging products xRapid and Xcurrent. These new products are been introduced to boost the transaction speeds in the ripply blockchain and also some centralized authorities like webmoney, perfect money, etc might soon be on the verge to start accepting payments through those fast transacting networks which would bring XRP to its fullest use case which would also boost the price for XRP.

Still.. yes, price for most of the altcoins including XRP majorly depends upon the price for bitcoins so we can't say the price would boost if the price for bitcoins stays below the support levels.
