You might be right but xrp has proving to do the opposite. It has fall to 0.17 and has lost significantly yesterday. I think we are at the time of uncertainty and both the stock and Cryptocurrency market are not doing too good this days.
This is more like the general trend in the crypto market and with the way things are, XRP is not behaving differently form every other normal or top coin. If the market falls more, XXRP will definitely follow the trend and the same is what would be seen if it rises. Except there is an upcoming announcement.
