I should add, one of the largest trading pair for XRP is USDT. If USDT loses it's favor among traders, it's going to push the BTC trading pair volume. That is basically a re-coupling.

I think this was just part of a wave cycle on our way down that got blown out of proportion due to the Tether thing. This market could still very easily be brought down when the equities markets start tank. All it would take is a coordinated effort to dump BTC at the same time as equities drop and no amount of good news is going to keep the price up. IMO.

@BMLemon, Perhaps or BTC could be viewed as an inevitable flight to safety asset and become a risk off trade :)
