I have been one of the believers of Ripple since the price was at 0.49$ and I have read a lot about how it works and the partnerships that they are making every week. I am pretty sure that Ripple will end up replacing the SWIFT system, so there is a lot of future there.
Also talking about technical analysis I believe that a key level for XRPUSD is 1.75$ which is the 61.8 fib level, good price to re enter again if there is some people looking to reenter at some point.
