There is pump and dump going on everywhere so dont panic too soon. Also watch the price of Bitcoin. Usually if Bitcoin is on a steep rise, most of the altcoins will go down a bit.
I dont agree that XRP is a pump and dump coin. A lof of banks have adopted XRP to use as money transfer means. Asian banks, Dubai, Turkish and also a Dutch bank so it is getting to be a financial markets coin which means it will be in use and not dumped and abondoned anytime soon. It will propably rise to at least 10$ before the summer of 2018 if not sooner.
