Ripple Market Update: XRP/BTC breaks below critical support, more sell-off ahead
|- Ripple's coin may continue moving down against BTC.
- XRP/USD lacks the momentum to move outside the range.
A prominent commodity trader and a long-standing XRP critic Peter Brandt believes that XRP is bound to crash agains BTC. In a recent tweet, he pointed out that Ripple Lab, the company behind the digital coin, destroyed the foundation that supported the coin against BTC.
Looks like Ripple Labs has blown the wad allocated to support XRPBTC at 0.00002060 to 0.0002075 levels. If ice-line cannot be reclaimed, look for new support at 0.0000194 on way to .0000145. Hey, I'm just a boomer who hates XRP.
Brandt also noted that the XRP dropped below 0.0002060 sats amid the recent Bitcoin’s rally to $10,000, which is considered as a bearish signal. If XRP/BTC fails to regain the ground, it may soon go all the way to 0.00001450 satoshis, according to Brandt.
At the time of writing, XRP/BTC is currently trading at 0.00002060, down over 90% from the peak of nearly 0.0002300 reached in January 2018.

All the attepmts to move outside the range failed to yield a sustainable result.
