Crypto as a whole is a young, low liquidity market (compared to FX, stocks etc), that can be easily manipulated.
If you see the charts lately, BTC, ETH, XRP and others move in almost perfect unison. This is obvious bot trading by whales.
However, the good news for XRP are so many that eventually the price will stop correlate to btc and skyrocket.
Fundamentals, use case, and team always win long term ;-)
Thank you for the share of your knowledge. I'm new to all of this, so anything sort helps make it easier to understand.
