Ripple $XRPUSD gained tremendous interest heading into the summer this year. But price has been consolidating for half a year now. During the 12/12 session, we finally saw a breakout.The crypto community is NOT fond of XRP because while it is technically a cryptoasset in in that it implements cryptography, it does not run on a blockchain and is more centralized. Wallstreet and bankers might like XRP because it was created for finance without the moral/political guidance of the crypto community.Ripple (XRPUSD)(click to enlarge)Bullish Breakout:- The daily chart shows that after the surge in May, price retreated and settled in a wide range between roughly $0.15 and $0.31. - That's a wide range, but the price action during the 12/12 session went from the middle of the range, around $0.25 to almost $0.50, a nearly 100% pump in under 24 hours. - At this point, I think the $0.30 area, which was the previous resistance, will become support. Cryptomania!- We are seeing other alts such as litecoin and ethereum pump. - I think we can expect the gains in Bitcoin to ripple, pun intended, through the alts, starting with the big caps. - I was once a new entrant into this space and my interest also started with bitcoin and eventually diffused into altcoins, though bitcoin's price action keeps reminding me who got me into this space in the first place.
