XRP Price Resumes Bearish Trend as Link to Bitcoin Can’t be Broken

By -

Every time the overall market momentum swings in either direction, enthusiasts on Twitter will change their opinion accordingly. Where the XRP price is concerned, it is evident there are a lot of various opinions on this asset and its role in the grand scheme of things. For now, the price momentum resumes its sideways trading action, which will not make too many people happy.

“Boring” XRP Price Momentum Materializes

It is not uncommon for different markets to rely on Bitcoin’s momentum first and foremost. Whether it is an altcoin, token, or digital asset, it would appear the link between it and Bitcoin cannot be broken under any circumstance. While that might not necessarily seem like a bad thing, it is evident Bitcoin isn’t gaining much traction as of right now. As such, it also reflects badly upon other currencies and markets

In the case of the XRP price, things are not going exactly according to plan right now. Following a 0.5% loss in USD value, one XRP is now valued at $0.308 again. On the flipside, there is a minor 0.07% increase in BTC value, although the 9,000 Satoshi level could not be sustained after all. An unfortunate turn of events for people who are genuinely invested in this project, although it shouldn’t prove to be catastrophic either.

When looking on Twitter, it would appear there is a very unique stance toward this digital asset as of right now. Although it is not entirely uncommon for people to be split down the middle where this market is concerned, it would appear RIPPLE GOOD continues to boast about the project and what it entails exactly. Although this positive attitude can get the project quite far, one has to wonder how any of this will affect the price in the short-term.

The opinion shared by Andrew puts a slightly different perspective on XRP. More specifically, this user is convinced a lot of good things are happening behind the scenes, although it seems the overall market isn’t necessarily too convinced about its long-term potential right now. As such, the price and the actual developments behind the scenes may not necessarily be correlated at this time, which is pretty unusual.

Last but not least, there is a more down-to-earth approach by Stellar Lumen Ripple. Although the name clearly suggests the favoritism may lean toward Stellar instead of Ripple, the opinion isn’t necessarily less valid either. More specifically, the user points out progress by Ripple does not necessarily represent a value increase of XRP. As such, it is important to keep one’s expectations in check first and foremost.

For the time being, it seems unlikely anything major will happen where XRP is concerned. All of the changes and developments behind the scenes cannot influence the price in a definitive fashion right now, although everything is subject to change when people least expect it. For now, the lack of any positive Bitcoin price action is hurting this asset as much as all other markets.

22 percent of institutional investors already have exposure to digital assets. This is according to a new report by Fidelity Investments, one of the largest asset managers in the world. The report goes against many crypto skeptics who have been quick to state that institutions are no longer interested in digital assets. The survey polled 441 institutional investors between November last year and February this year. Interestingly, this was a time in which cryptos hit their lowest levels. Nevertheless, institutional investors remained unfazed, with interest in digital assets never really dwindling.

INTRODUCING "DEEP WEB" THAT LIES BEYOND GOOGLE   The entire expanse of the Internet, going well beyond what you surf every day, is only the tip of a massive iceberg, the size of which is too vast to be known. Far beyond searching the Web with Google or chatting with friends on Facebook, there’s a dense maze of websites that exist out of view, though for how long that will be true is unclear. When most users log on to the Internet, they visit their bookmarked pages or use Google to search for sites that can provide the information they’re looking for. That Internet, used by billions around the world every day, is sometimes known as the  Surface Web , or the Clearnet, as coined by Tor and other anonymous online users. The Deep Web, simply put, is everything else. It’s made up of tens of billions of sites that are hidden within a universe of code — various estimates have put the Deep Web at anywhere from five to 500,000 times the size of the Surface Web.
