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.
when the beginning of 2020 began with a price of $ 0.19 and could show improvements in the month of febuary to reach $ 0.33. but after that the trend is down and it seems difficult to get back up. prices move between $ 0.13 to $ 0.22 and cannot return to the same level in February. It is also possible that due to the movement of bitcoin that has not yet fully moved up, the effect also affects all altcoins, including xrp.
but although now in a red state but it is believed that xrp will be able to rise next year with a change in bitcoin of course. the possibility to break through $ 4 could happen. xrp is very good to be used as an investment, but it will take a long time to see a significant change.
