Ripple Price Analysis
Fundamentals
Cryptocurrencies and initial coin offering may be illegal in China. However, that is not stopping Ripple, the company behind the cryptocurrency, XRP, from with the Institute for Fintech Research, Tsinghua University (THUIFR). Their collaboration has yielded a new program: The Blockchain Technology Research Scholarship Program (BRSP).We are excited to announce that partnering with , we launched Blockchain Technology Research Scholarship Program (BRSP) in 2019 ! — Tsinghua University Institute for Fintech Research (@THIFR3)
“The program’s goal – to provide students with opportunities in blockchain research – closely aligns with that of Ripple’s University Blockchain Research Initiative; we’re thrilled to support THUIFR in this endeavor and look forward to its launch.”
Candlestick Arrangement
At the time of press, XRP is stable, but the ETH gap continues to widen—now at $700 million. Overly, this is bullish and to restate: XRP is technically bullish against the greenback as long as prices are rallying towards 34 cents. The 30 cents mark continues to shore prices.
As we have said, all the Fibonacci retracement levels are psychological and are proven reaction points. It was confirmed yesterday when prices reacted at the 78.6 percent mark. Because of deep corrections from Dec highs, the farthest XRP can retest is Dec highs at 40-42 cents. With this guidance, bulls should be on the sidelines only planning to initiate longs once prices rally past 34 cents—the 50 percent mark—preferably with high transaction volumes helping bulls recoup losses of Jan 20.
