Bitcoin Bears & XRP Bulls

Bitcoin feels stuck and the bears are winning right now. But of course this won’t last forever, pretty soon Bitcoin will breakout to the upside and head towards the next target of $75,000 and then $100,000 as per the stock to flow model.

In contrast XRP made a huge bullish move this past week pumping past $1 and is still looking strong. Of course, we should expect corrections on the way up. At this rate XRP could see $3 sooner of later. Look at the giant green candle on the weekly chart. If things continue to trend in Ripple’s direction in the SEC’s lawsuit against them then this could add more bullish momentum to XRP’s price.
