I do not think so. because to reach ATH bitcoin must go up even higher. if it only relies on Ripple's power alone, it can't break ATH yet. so it depends on the bitcoin trend, if the bitcoin bull trend ends, it's hard for ripple to reach the ATH. and look at the moment bitcoin is still stuck at the price of 18k, so ATH will not be reached in these months.
Absolutely right. BTC is passing through its correction phase after hitting 19,000 and came down almost $3000 but fortunately this time the Alts didn't fall so much. XRP is also showing resistance like other Prominent Alts. If BTC stabilizes around its current Price, buying will start coming in Alts soon.
