Ripple had been on the news before this bullish threads started coming into the crypto market, this make me Wonder, if Ripple is the sole cause of this bullish threads we have seen form January to February, 2020. Also, recently Ripple had announced their partner; "Intermex, which will leverage RippleNet – a network of institutional payment providers using Ripple's several payments solutions – to develop "faster, transparent cross-border remittance services" between the U.S. and Mexico."

Maybe not! Altcoins like ripple have not shown such robustness to give a bullish trend as you have assumed to be. The fact still remains that, the hype of Ripple few days ago which still on a hype may be tracked to partnership of companies you have mentioned, and the ones the writers have observed. Such yardstick cannot bring a bullish trend as to what we have seen, although, its good to gather some coins that have possibility to soar higher.

If ripple is responsible for this present bullish thread why haven't ripple skyrocket yet? why still around 0.23$? it should be the one taking the lead right now, where other altcoins like BitcoinCash and ETH are making XRP looks stupid, I think bitcoin halving is responsible not ripple

Is not it obvious, whenever we are approaching Bitcoin halving the market always turns better? there is no altcoin that can affect the whole market except Bitcoin itself. Bitcoin has the biggest market cap, cryptocurrency is like a company and Bitcoin is the biggest shareholder in the company and altcoin is the rest of the shareholders.
With it, Bitcoin can control the company because it has almost the majority of the share over the company. Do not overcomplicate it, it is as simple as that.

No it is not. The current market is heavily led by bitcoin like the way it had done before. It's bitcoin that's increasing and other coins are increasing as they are paired mostly with bitcoin and the paired bitcoin price rises. The reason for bitcoin's price growth at the moment is largely due to the halving approaching in May 2020. This could be the best time to buy bitcoin below $10K.

When compared to the other altcoins such as Ethereum and Litecoin, the spike in the Ripple prices recently have been more moderate. And also, I was not that impressed by the verbal duel between Mike Novogratz (CEO of Galaxy Digital) and Brad Garlinghouse (CEO of Ripple). I thought that the prediction made by Novogratz was more supported by the facts, when compared to the one made by Garlinghouse.

Ripple indeed could grow due to the launch of bitmex 50x leverage and as you know this coin has been paired a lot to different coins such as eth and btc which could boost also the pump of some coins. I'm not a fan of ripple but their surge affect btc and eth in the goodway. I know a lot of crypto enthusiats dont like this centralized project but thanks to them we can at least say they are helpful on the total market cap which make the green lights to activate that much.

Absolutely not! Ripple is not entirely a cryptocurrency as such. It is a centralized version of a cryptocurrency which simply doesn't have the power to set the entire market in bullish mode! Ripple is too small for that! There are only two coins which has this kind of power are, bitcoin and ETH. These two coins are indeed in bullish mode for genuine reasons as listed below,

1. Bitcoin - upcoming halving is what pushing the price in upward direction. It is just a repetition of the trend that we have already seen during previous halving events.

2. ETH - this coin is pushing to upward direction because of its upcoming algorithm change to POS from current POW. People are hoarding this coin to earn a better ROI in future and the d3mand has gone up for this reason.

After from thesebtwo coins, no other coins hold the power to change the mood of the market. Certainly not Ripple!

Have a look at the 1D BTC chart with smoothed candles. BTC has been priming for a while. It seems to enjoy following large trend lines as well as elliot wave patterns. Which makes sense because the majority of the market is ran by whales with bots programmed for long term accumulation, pump, and dump. Rinse, repeat...

Ripple has potential and it can surely grow higher in few months time but presently I refuse to accept that Ripple is behind this present bullrun, Ripple hasn't grown profit like BCH and ETH did, its growth since few days ago is very low compare to other coins

I seriously can't believe these shills and how hard they are trying to force a shitcoin to our faces. How the hell a WHOLE market increase could be attributed to XRP, how? Are you guys just realizing that XRP is a horrible coin and want to make sure it continues to go up so you can sell and get rid of it? Is this what it is?

You will never get any shares from the profits Ripple will make, you know that right? And they have millions upon millions of coins that they can sell and kill the market in order to make profit for themselves and never care about you, you must have at least heard about that. People who shill coins like bsv, xrp, bch and so forth really sickens me, nobody should be as shallow as this to just make few bucks on the side from their investments.

Ripple? I don't think so my friend.
Only BTC can cause bullish trend. Ripple can't. So many people doesn't even like Ripple, they are just trying to make profit on Ripple.

Nope.

It's also performing well now but it's not the cause of the bullish trend. We don't know the actual reason behind it.

Very little price action is directly caused by one singular thing; there's also plenty of events that we will never know the root cause of, but XRP itself is still just a small part of the crypto markets as a whole even though it's up there if you're ranking cryptocurrencies by market cap and other similar factors. Besides even those things, I doubt a simple announcement like this would cause so much fanfare in the markets, and it isn't due to launch for a while.

Bitcoin is the leader of cryptocurrency market - it has always been and still is, with no signs of it losing its positions, in fact it only grew stronger in the recent years and has more dominance than in the previous bull period. Hence, it's irrelevant what happens to altcoins aka shitcoins, even if they are from top 5 - they don't influence the whole market, and none of them can influence Bitcoin. There's only a relationship between related coins, like ETH and its competitotrs, but even that doesn't always mean there's a predictable reaction when it comes to price.

Lol that's a big joke that ripple is the main factor who causes this bullish trend. That news has nothing to do with the bullish trend and bitcoin gives a very big impact on the whole of altcoins.
Intermex partnership is not as a previous partnership that created by ripple.
Honestly, what already said by this guy is legit and it can be trusted
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-best-bet-in-crypto-xrp-will-underperform-mike-novogratz

Ripple is still underperformed.

People are betting more into the bitcoin. You must also look at the daily volume chart and how bitcoin was dominating the whole of the market. It's just less compared with the daily volume chart of USDT.

sure XRP still has the potential to raise prices but it will indeed be very difficult to be able to rise rapidly, there must be good news to be able to make XRP prices go up or if there is no such thing then the XRP team can manipulate prices so that they can increase prices without any notice, at least this year the XRP hasn't given a surprise to the XRP holders.

I think btc is moving on its own and clearly the best movement among the top major coins. If you would observed the current stance of the market it is indeed a clear uptrend already. Last night I was watching the charts and obviously there are still some who are pulling back and cashing out some of the funds from a high steep pump but obviously this will be a good time to hold if youre an investor as this year is the bullish season for btc due to halving. On the other hand, ripple isnt the reason but also lean on btc movement. I am no fan of this crappy project own by most centralized firm. But good for those who also hold cause it also moving up and gains have been realized too.

Yeah right, bitcoin have it's own movement and not because of any alts behind it. If we are noticing bitcoin is growing and beginning to established much better value. This position still being dominated and always be dominated by bitcoin Whatever market movement from the alts market its still not enough to think that it's influencing the whole industry especially bitcoin market.

I think not, although some experts expects that XRP will be having good fluctuation, but it is not the cause of this bullish trend. I think it's the bitcoin who trends to increase showing positivity.

With my little experience, ripple of all coin cannot be the reason for a bull that will affect the price of coins like btc and ETH. It is far from it.

I do not think that Ripple will be able to influence the entire market. Rather, the opposite. Although it is worth considering the company's strengths - marketing. When they need to, they know how to arrange a grandiose pump. This may be indicated by currency charts.

Taking a practical look at ripple move, you will observe that, ripple have moved far from what we used to know about it move before. If ripple is dangling with with just 40% and on of a sudden it plot into 105%, what will be your conclusion? That its hasn't seen a bull?


Take a closer look at the current price of ripple and others you have just made mentioned to see their percentage of increase, then you will know who us taking the leading!!!!.

All of us here expecting that market will recover from the previous downfall that we expeperienced for the past two years. Others thinking what is the reason that's why OP ask this and some give their opinion. I wanted to impart some too. XRP has too many traders and we all know amongst the top coins even compared with BCH this coin has the lowest fee and I admit Im using this instead of eth and btc. I'm just practical to use it even though we hate how much this coin is being manipulated so much. Admit that all of you uses this too so dont tell so much negativity in fact you are using this too.

I think Ripple or (XRP) has nothing to do with this bullish trend that we currently experiencing now. But it may also influence on current XRP price, Usually the market reacts if there is an upcoming big event specially in the dominant cryptocurrency in the market Like "bitcoin halving" forks, etc the market is showing positive movements from time to time that's why I think it was connected to the upcoming event.

That's great news and RippleNet has not only become Intermex's partner, they are Visa's main partner. This shows that the cross-border trading system is very needed and the future of Ripple will bring a big thing to the market.
But the downside is that the team currently holds 60 billion XRP and this is not safe for investors. In addition, coins are becoming more and more unlocked and they are bringing up exchanges to sell more. This has caused the price of XRP to rise quite low compared to the top alts, I doubt about the growth of XRP in the future.

What? That ripple growths few say days ago is low? Well, I don't know where you take your opinion from. The beginning of this month was as good in ripple, I did many trades from my side and, i was able to grab my fortune form using ripple to trade. Ripple has invited many companies and try to bring them into the cryptocurrency sphere to boost global adoption.

I doubt ripple is the cause otherwise it would have seen more gain than it had. Other top coins have inarguably done better than ripple within this period.

I don't think so. It needs bigger issues than it to make the bullish time starting or growing.
The increase in the market price currently is so significant. But, we still cannot determine which issues influence the market whether it is because of heading to the BTC halving or other issues. However, whatever the reason, we should be relieved with the recent market condition. But, we are probably wondering, is this only a short bullish or is this the starting to reach higher one?

The rumor heard it that ripple are about to conduct an IPO so this could trigger the crypto market but i don't think it is the reason for the bull run. Another amazing News is the bitcoin halving which i think is the reason behind the bull run. i hope bitcoin cross and never go below the 10,000 price mark. it will be good to see bitcoin make such move.

bitcoin prices will be very easy to rise beyond the price of $10k and I think when bitcoin prices start to show an increase in price it will have a good effect on many altcoins like XRP will usually go up because it is used for transactions between exchanges that are being arbitrated by utilizing the price difference from other exchange place.

Only bitcoin can but its good to hear a news like this from XRP, the up trend already started right before the announcement of XRP so I also think XRP is a not a sole cause of this pump. The market is getting better, we have to consider so many indicators for this one and right now, we can’t tell the real reason for the pump.

You must be joking? This couldn't be further from the truth. This altcoin season and bitcoin bullrun has been predicted for a long time and it has nothing to do with this crappy centralized coin or their shill army. If you haven't noticed, XRP is not a part of this bull run.

XRP bull run might come later because there's no shortage in a supply of idiots that don't know what they are doing, and they will be flowing back into markets. But XRP doesn't lead anything.

The only reason of any bull trend is some big whale's decision to make it happen.Whether it is Ripple who strarts growing first or Dash or Ethereum or some other coins - this is a consequence, not a cause.

Good news for XRP holders. But I don't think the ripple experienced a bullrun because of the news, but indeed because almost all altcoins have increased prices since 2 days ago, a good start for all Altcoin holders hopes that bullrun continues to occur this year.

Of course, in the beginning of 2020, the entire cryptocurrency market increased its capitalization by 27%, which amounts to almost 244 billion dollars, and first of all, the cryptocurrency market achieved such indicators by increasing the price of bitcoin, which makes up almost 67% of the total cryptocurrency trading volume.  Undoubtedly, altcoin showed a great impetus to price increases, but nevertheless I very much doubt that it is the Ripple that is responsible for such a triumph.
In addition, you still need to take into account information about the lawsuit of Craig with the heirs of the Kleiman, which in any case affected the growth of Bitcoin SV and clearly displayed on the entire cryptocurrency market.

The ripple transaction is more than fast rather other cryptocurrencies as long as I know. And I have done it for several times and it has low fee if we compare with bitcoin. Therefore, ripple is the coin which deserve to be use as payment system or sending money (which I think can be aligned with bank transaction. But I dissagree if you say that ripple was causing the cryptocurrency have increased which considered this situation is bull run. There are many things that more deserve to call as an affect for cryptocurrencies price goes up, such as samsung who decide to invest their money to invest on smart contract.

Yes, xrp is most potential coin but how many adoption is happen by useful it, Ripple stabilization is going from long term. So short term investors never expect profit. BCH investment is different with any crypto investment, risk is high and outcome is also like that. I would never gonna to compare in bch with other altcoins investment.

No, XRP is not the cause of the bullish movement we've seen over the last couple of months. If it were, then we'd have seen XRP rising a) sooner than other coins, and b) more than other coins. Neither of these is the case.

The mostly likely cause I would say is the expectation of bitcoin halving, which as we all know is coming soon. Coupled to this the high bitcoin dominance at the moment, which has maybe reached the point where alts are looking like a bargain.

If any alt is helping to drive us upwards at the moment, it is ETH.

Ripple did not even make a Good Pump so how come that this top 3 ranking currency will be the reason of this Pump?i cannot see any connection about such.

actually what i was thinking is either this is a manipulation or there is a huge dump coming to follow this trend.

altcoin will never make a bullish trend first that makes a bullish trend is bitcoin if bitcoin has made a bullish trend altcoin will also make a bullish trend, whatever the reason, xrp is altcoin and altcoin does not make a bullish trend first

Though it doesn't show any bullish trend for now, we must wait patiently for bitcoin to soar back and bounce at good price. Xrp will just follow the normal fluctuations of bitcoin, and when there's some minor changes of price of course altcoins always be affected visibly. Let's see the future effect of bitcoin on other branches of coins, and you'll gain confidence to pursue what has been established within you.

I don't think that ripple is responsible for the bullish trend. Maybe the reason why some of the altcoin rises up is because of the halving that is about to happen this coming May. Investors are now hyped to this kind of event that is why they are trying to have some bitcoin before halving happens for them to be able to gain profit into it.

Halving is still a few months ahead, but the price of BTC and altcoin has experienced a substantial decline, then what is the reason?

Accumulation, if you think it had anything to with Ripple, the burden of proof is on you and you need to provide a proof why Ripple a currency that is third in the whole market has the power of changing not only all the coins beneath it which could at least be somehow understandable but also the top two coins of which has 5x more volume bad market cap than Ripple.

If you can't provide a factual proof of how Ripple might have affected it, then you can't ask people why bitcoin does, that is something they think they believe but they didn't open a whole topic about it and tried to convince you. Ripple neither was the reason for it but at the same time doesn't even have the power to do a bull run to all of the market even if it really wanted to achieve such a thing.

I fully support you, always the bullish trend started with Bitcoin and then switched to alts, so Ripple could not be the reason for the bullish trend.

Yes we should not be considering ripple as a crypto to be honest because everyone knows that ripple cannot be considered as decentralized until it meets all the criteria for decentralization, however when it comes to bull run or bullish market trend it always begins with Bitcoin because whenever there is pump the value of Bitcoin it leaves a positive effect throughout the market unlike altcoins, I hope we might see lot of fluctuations in the market for upcoming months due to halving and messed up world ecomony as well as unexpected effects of corona.

No, a resounding no.  Bitcoin is the cause of any run, whoever tells you differently is kidding themselves.  No coin run will cause a market to move let alone result in a bull run.  The honey badger is the one that runs things here and will be for a long time

so with the current state of the market tends to go down is this possible from xrp ??
certainly not, bitcoin as the highest peak of crypto is a good reason that is able to change where the market is going.

Nope and no
Look at Ripple these few day

It bleeded so hard compare to most other alts
Prior to this i actually think XRP is going to a bull season but it became invalid after it breach its breakout of $0.29 hmmm

There is no correlation between this Bullish trend and Ripple coins, this is purely a Bullish trend. Even though Ripple has very good news but I don't think it has an impact on increasing all Crypto prices. So Don't trust too much from the news that you read, maybe it's just a promotion from a certain party.

Still how bitcoin moves matters, now that we are experiencing downfall as bitcoin is again plunged down the entire industry are again suffers
together with it, xrp don't have any big relations with things that the current falls is taking place.
Bear and Bull still depends from investors interest with the main base such as bitcoin.

Yes True, the Bullish and Bearish trend is due to an increase in demand or supply, not because of the Ripple factor. Bullish trend means the market is increasing demand, and if in a Bearish situation it means there is an increase in supply.

Yup, we see what is happen in this day which bitcoin price is down too deep, and what we see with ripple is the price is follow to get down too. Ripple nowadays still not showing a good movements, and I think ripple still waiting for bitcoin price to bounce to the higher price so ripple can increase. But still, it will difficult for ripple to increase in this moment especially we are in the downtrend again.

And now that Ripple is back at 23 cents, falling down even worse than Bitcoin (31 cents to 23 is basically almost 25% drop and Bitcoin has only lost about 12%),,, what can we all say about this? That of course not Ripple cannot take responsibility if it wanted to, not for pumps, not for dumps, except for its own XRP.

It's very clear that it's not Ripple who made the market bullish even if today's market condition is not really bullish at all. It's the incoming bitcoin halving that will create positive impact on bitcoin price and once bitcoin will surge high, top altcoins too are expecting to recover their prices again. It's bitcoin who will mostly control the market as it has the highest rate invested coin by the investors.

I still do not understand why all these XRP rats seems to feel Ripple is responsible for everything good in the space. There is one thing for sure XRP army will keep shilling their tokens and the Ripple team will keep dumping on the market and the price will keep going down

If you are always updating the latest news and current dump already created by the bullish trend on the gold. In africa and the gold has already touched its halving that means if the product of gold is getting lower like when miners are getting less and less reward caused by halving. You can even read a lot of news about that.

I don't think ripple is the cause of the bullish trend. If this is true then ripple should pump the price at least $0.5 but no. I'm not sure but I think the upcoming bitcoin halving was the cause of a little bullish. Now the prices of the coins were going down seems investors already gained profit but I believe the coins will rise up again.

The reason for the bullish trend is almost always either Bitcoin or news that appears in the media, but not Ripple.

Never in its history has the Ripples influenced the cryptocurrency market and it will not be in the future either.  In addition, I did not observe any outstanding indicators of Ripples in the cryptocurrency market, so that someone could suggest this.

It never happens and Op is not understood correctly about how crypto market works today. crypto market is totally getting affected by bitcoin and ripple never does any impact to the crypto. The opposite thing must be a correct statement for ripple caused by it was only taking advantage of the crypto market and it never contributes to the crypto market.

I also share your opinion, since everyone understands why Ripple is used by some payment systems.  In turn, I still make some investments in this coin, because I understand its prospects thanks to the use of the cryptocurrency market, blockchain and cooperation with famous payment systems, and this gives me confidence in its prospects.  But I really understand that this coin does not and cannot have any effect on the entire cryptocurrency market.

I don't think this coin can go up during this period because people seem to feel uncomfortable investing in this coin. In fact, Ripple has not been able to increase in price for the past two years and the supply of this coin is so huge that I feel very nervous when investing. In addition, not many long term investors choose this coin so it is very risky if you buy.

Always, absolutely always the reason for bullish trend is Bitcoin, and not only bullish but also bearish trend is also Bitcoin, because the whole market follows Bitcoin.

Ripple is the only coin on the top 10 coin that I cant recommend for any new investors. Have expected the team to give explanation from the struggle in the market and the rumour of dumping by flooding the market with some reserved token last year. The same token climbed above ethereum last year and stayed there for several weeks, now ethereum marketcap almost doubled the ripple and there are fewer recommendation on the social media neither news of development from the project.

Right, since bitcoin is on the top of the food chain, and most tokens or crypto trade pairs with it, there should be no other coin in the market that can bring the bullishness in crypto, except the old and reliable bitcoin.

How about Ripple now causing the bearish trend because of this news?

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-26/ripple-must-face-lawsuit-alleging-illegal-xrp-sales

If ripple was the reason why bitcoin went above $10000 and ethereum trying to test $300 then it could have been the highest venefitor of the recent bullish run but I did not see anything like that. Ripple seem to have lose the memory of recovery and I think it can be the reason why other coins are gaining.

Yesterday more than 500 million Ripple were unlocked and that is the main reason why I feel very worried about the future of this coin. I'm not sure what this coin will look like, but you may face a lot of great risks if you choose to invest. In addition, people are looking for new investments and they will undoubtedly choose only the coins that can help them make a profit in the long run.

It's clear to everyone that Ripple wasn't the reason for the bullish trend in the market, it even sounds ridiculous, because for the bullish trend at least there should be good volatility and XRP doesn't have it.

Now, Ripple owners are saying that because of the lawsuits they are getting the XRP market could collapse because when they are ordered by the courts to pay up those law suits they will be forced to sell the XRP (millions of it they printed for themselves for free which is epitome of bad crypto moves) will be sold on the market and that will result with the price to go down. Ripple company will be fine because they will simply print more for the future but the people who wold XRP will be screwed for the punishments of the company.

When we are talking about a company and a currency like that, I do not understand how people are still rooting for it to go up. It will not go up, it will go down and in the future it will be a shitcoin like it supposed to be already.

Yes the Ripple price is getting very bad conditions now. because the Ripple team is keep releasing the new coins in to crypto market from past few months and it getting more day by day it can impacting  the Ripple price so better to understand the situation and Ripple team should take action for it.

XRP is out for this and one reason that I saw this climbing scenario that we experience in a few days and since for the start of this year is because of the upcoming halving and people anticipating it by buying more which increases that market demand and eventually makes prices to move high also.
That XRP owner pronouncement has got attention but that was only for Ripple and not of the entire market involvement.

Anyway, if that contributed to the market pumps which is unnoticed, well it is good to see but I'm not really convince of its effect since halving got more attention to the public.

Halving usually occurs if the huge demand will cause the increase of market price in each coins. However xrp has been tested for more years and it stayed consistent and stable in terms of trading volume that's why no wonder it could contribute to a lot of changes in the market.

I don't think ripple alone could affect the whole market situation. There are just lots of positive events which are affecting the market trend. It's actually a good thing that ripple is rising up because it simply means that it could go with Bitcoin's flow. However, I have also noticed that the price of ripple is quite dropping down, I guess it is because they all have their own movement as a coin.
