Ripple Price: Solid growth ahead?
The XRP is showing a great buying momentum. It is certainly not in the range of strong buy but 0.23% growth is indicating a solid growth ahead for Ripple.
If you closely observe the XRP pattern then the price is currently hopping. It has reached the S3 Fibonacci of 0.15561 retracements and the 200-period EMA, located at $0.2510. Ripple is trading within a growing channel as witnessed on the 1-day chart. The Ripple price has jumped the resistance. However, on XRP tapping the ‘perfect roof’ at $0.26, a more profound change took place driving Ripple right in the course.
Ripple releases 500 million XRP
Two days ago, blockchain analysis provider Whalealert recorded a large transaction on the blockchain. It was 500 million XRP (about $ 120 million) that were sent. It was a transaction from Ripple’s escrow account. The tokens were brought to the market. Ripple plans to launch XRP for 55 months at the beginning of the month.
The supply and demand determine the price. Adding large amounts of an asset to the markets usually hurts the price. Although XRP posted profits this year, the performance is rather poor compared to other coins. The entire crypto market grew by around 36%. XRP only by approx. 24%. The value increase of the coin is thus 12% below the average. The company released 1 billion XRP earlier this year.
Conclusion
As the transaction was only recently finished, the impact on the Ripple price is not yet been observed. It remains to be seen whether and to what extent the campaign will have an impact on the Ripple price.
