XRP may have rallied over 100% from its recent local bottom following Black Thursday and 20% within the last ten days alone, but last night’s weekly close could have deadly implications for the number three crypto asset by market cap.

XRP Closes Below Critical Level on BTC Trading Pair, What Comes Next For the Altcoin? XRP may have been bullish on the XRPUSD trading pair more due to Bitcoin and its halving, according to a nasty weekly close on the XRPBTC trading pair. The same buy TD Sequential buy signals that triggered on XRPUSD that appear to have led to at least some upside have failed miserably on the XRPBTC trading pair.

Just as Bitcoin’s bull run in late 2017 rally got heated, it did so at the expense of altcoins like Ripple. On XRPBTC price charts, Ripple fell below 2500 sats briefly to just 1500 sats, before exploding by over 1000% and reaching an all-time high of over $3.50 and over 22,000 sats. Ripple hasn’t had a single weekly close below the 2500 sat level since then, until now. XRPBTC just closed below 2500 support for the first time since 2017.

Or is there a chance that Ripple falls to the lowest ever support level at just 500 sats per token? With Bitcoin’s halving here, and the coronavirus continuing to shake up markets, truly anything is possible. Featured image from Pixabay
