I think NXT will still pump but not presently, Ardor token will be the darling of investors from tomorrow and I see people dumping their NXT now until the next snapshot for Ignis Asset token
If Ardor will be the darling of investors, future investors must buy NXT first to buy Ardor on the built-in exchange. As Ardor platform hits a testnet and approaches launch time, demand for Ardor may rise, automatically increasing demand for NXT. Because you need NXT to buy Ardor on the built-in exchange, did I mention it? Uh yes I did.
So there you go, demand for NXT has direct correlation with demand for Ardor.
