XRP has been volatile over the last few weeks against the BTC.
Today XRP will rise in the short-term as BTC moves sideways and downward. Some expect BTC to drop which would help the price of XRP - but I anticipate BTC rising back to the 7000s in due course - which would likely push down the price of XRP.
We're going up in the short term - but get ready for a slide as BTC rises in the very near future and Ripple take its time catching up.
