Coins that shows an uptrend are the one who gets an organic increase of price and not by those pump and dump groups who just feed themselves. Ripple (XRP) is one of those gainers whos price increased in the last 24 hours because of their recent announcement that Amex that they tied up with Ripple for Blockchain payments. BCC or Bitcoin Cash is one of those losers who slowly losing its ground day by day after being pumped in an attempt to dethrone Bitcoin.
Yes, I agree with you about Ripple. But some other great coins with high market cap such as Litecoin, Ethereum, Dash, Monero and Waves are falling. They are not manipulated by pump and dump groups.
Seems that all the altcoins are falling and I think ripple will start to fall soon.
