Ripple Network and XRP Overview after Getting Knocked Down by IOTA [Video]

Kiana Danial, CFP Invest Diva

Today I’d like to take a look at Ripple, which has recently been knocked down by IOTA in terms of market cap. Ripple is now the 5th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, trailing behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and IOTA. Its market cap stands just above $9 billion as of December 5th according to coinmarketcap.com. It’s good to remind you that Ripple is both a payment network (RippleNet) and a cryptocurrency (Ripple XRP) created in 2012. RippleNet connects banks and other big institutions and allows them to transfer money and other assets through the network. All transactions are recorded on the decentralized XRP Ledger. Now let’s take a look at XRP’s price versus the USD. After it first became available on online exchanges for trading in May 2017, XRP’s price has mainly ranged between 0.28 and a median support level of 0.19. While we don’t yet have much data to conduct a thorough technical analysis, the Ichimoku cloud has kept its flat format. The cryptocurrency has yet to reach its ICO price level of 0.37, even during high volatility and breaking news. With this, we may be able to see another test of 0.19, which could be an attractive buy limit order potential for those who are interested in getting exposed to Ripple and adding XRP to their cryptocurrency wallet. Thanks for watching, invest responsibly, and I’ll see you with more updates tomorrow.

Ripple (XRP) is edging lower around $1.36 at the time of writing on Wednesday, weighed down by low retail interest and macroeconomic uncertainty, which is accelerating risk-off sentiment.

This was an unusual payrolls report for two reasons. Firstly, because it was released on Wednesday, and secondly, because it included the 2025 revisions alongside the January NFP figure.

Bitcoin price slips below $67,000 ahead of US Nonfarm Payrolls data

Bitcoin price extends losses, and trades below the lower consolidating boundary at $67,300 at the time of writing. A firm close below this level could trigger a deeper correction for BTC.
