Such spontaneous growths have been earlier at this coin and it is not worth it all wondering and believing that after this everything will only be more growth because it is a trap.

Growth XRP I was pleased! I like this token and I see its perspective and potential in it. In October, XRP launches its platform for banks. I think that price growth is just the beginning. I think the price of XRP will reach 8 dollars probably this year.

At around 02:59:50 AM today, Ripple price is down by 5.54% where its price is $0.493915, but now Ripple tend to spike up again as it's up by 24.61% at the time of writing, and now its price is $0.562724 according to CoinMarketCap.

Well, I think it's not surprising as the world’s 3rd largest cryptocurrency has already made 75% surge sometime on September 21 and I think it will keep on gaining new heights, so don't be surprised.

It's possible considering the last two highs were considerably more than it's current valuation, however the market is some what stagnant at present but if it did it would definitely be a sign of more investment coming into the market which may have a positive impact on alternatives overall

xrp is the reason for start of bulls. crypto is centered on xrp right now
swell meeting on oct 3
XRP is not the reason for start of bulls as the crypto space has been gearing up towards this point for a while now and asides that, XRP was not the first coin in the top 100 to actually go bullish, as doge was.

Well, that simply shows that even for shit coins to go bullish, the chances are there pretty soon to see the other markets follow the same route if bitcoin tend to give the proper environment and tend to move sideways or slowly up for the short time and then we will be able to get to see some bullish move upward for the altcoin market.

I guess we are approaching the days of increasing our bitcoin stash if you know what I mean.

Well, it may come down faster than that, we are seeing good support for XRP in the market but its hard to get pumped like a normal coin because of its huge market cap. If the BTC market starts uptrend then we may see more green bars to all of the top cryptos.
That is usually the thing about a pumped market, although for now we have seen it retracing but as long as I am selling at a very good price, I would say the best thing is to leave before it gets quickly dumped.
 
However, there is nothing bad in trying to take part in the pieces of the falling market at the moment, considering there is still more room to grow and also for the fact that we have only just experienced the first leg, so, I guess we will wait to see what the second leg ends up bringing as the case may be. There is no need to be confused as an investor, just follow the trend and you will be fine while knowing that as long as you have made something substantial, just get out!

XRP has gone up by more than 20% today, overtaking ETH in market cap. Hopefully with this rise, new money will go into the alts market and it will be the start of the bull market. I am sick of seeing alts and bitcoin going down day by day for the past few months.
There nothing to be celebrate about the price of ripple againing such pump in price since the price will be manipulate very soon due to it centralization. However, the reason behind the pump in price was the news it new 50,000TPS scalability posted on their official site.

Leaping 20% on a short period of time would really put up people/investors into confusion but this is the feeling that do give out positive vibes rather than seeing a -20% nosedive.Am I right?
I'm not really surprised for this coin to pump out and every coin in the market can really possibly gain those percentage movements on a short period of time when investors or whales would decide to buy up a coin.

XRP is generally seen as the first reactionary crypto money to enter the bull season, but I think it needs to be more cautious. Current levels may raise these suspicions. Previously, many positive news and developments that do not react to the XRP's current level makes me think a lot.
it's best to just buy a ripple and wait for its price at $ 10. I hope that he will achieve it in the near future
in general, the price of $ 10 for ripple, this is a fairly serious claim for success. But I doubt very much about such opportunities, especially in the near future or now.

You just copied the OP to the article you link, it's better if you quoted it so it won't look like a plagiarism ( even you provide the link ).

The article was full of good news to holders so what's bothering you anyway? Even it's a sudden leap and many fear that it's just a bubble but still many are in deep thought of buying more ( some FOMOs ) but specifically if you bought at bottom you already now sitting on your profit and sipping some wine.

. In the past there has been lots of good news about XRP and Ripple,

I just know that xrp and ripple is different from each other, I thought xrp is ticker of ripple. Jeez, how come I'm outdated.

Ripple partners and good relationships should increase Ripple prices. But remember that all electronic prices are based on expectations. All prices are good for today but tomorrow it can be 100 times or less than 100 times.
IMHO main problem of XRP is that it is utility token and you won't get any profits from sales of new tech to the banks. IMHO banks will be using private blockchains based on XRP tech, but there is no need to buy xrp to them. But yes it's quite a good coin for speculation and on new you can make great profit if you will patient enough.

I don't think we can relate the XRP price move to any recent news. In the past there has been lots of good news about XRP and Ripple, but the price remained unchanged - I'm thinking about about most of 2017 here. And then there was that mega-rise to a couple of dollars, which was fuelled by the South Korean market getting overheated rather than by specific XRP news.
I do think it is a good coin, and one of the most likely routes to mainstream crypto adoption... but price moves don't seem to be related to news in general for XRP.

The fact is that they say that the ripple left one of the founders and the holder of more coins, which entailed such a recession. But the news of the launch of the new platform has lifted it up again, as long as the ripple is seen as the most promising coin among all.

If I understand the situation correctly. Owners haves, so many coins that they need to put in good hands for HOLD. To do this, thay needed to raise the price even higher. Be careful, do not stay with the coins in your hands when the music stops playing.

Price may come down faster than it spike but it will go up over and over because of the finance institution going to buy XRP for its usage. It will just matter now of whether you want to ride this train or not but this will seriously give a good profit for those who will keep betting on XRP. The speculation of it going more than a hundred may not really happen this year but its going to keep going up.

for me it is not surprising, because all of this is a pump and this increase will be temporary, see later the price will go down again. partnership with banks is always done ripple and maybe this is what triggers the increase in prices.

You're right that spike is just temporary, as Ripple price is down by 5.54% and its price is $0.493915 at the time of writing. Well, we can't blame banks for embracing Ripple cryptocurrency technology, they rapidly adopting it due to its speed. Using XRP, banks can provide their clients with liquidity. This can be done in real time and on demand! It also eliminates the need for any pre-funding. It is also being rapidly adopted by several payment providers. They are using XRP in order to reach new markets. With XRP, they are able to reduce the time required for payment settlement and lower the foreign exchange costs. Source: https://coinswitch.co

Before all of you Ripple buyers become very excited, you should read the news and see what occurred this week. XRP was pumped to hide the truth, I reckon. That truth is one of its original founders, Jed McCaleb has been selling more than the agreed amount from his billions held in XRP.

Maybe the better investment would be Stellar hehehe.

That's great for those who already hold the XRP before, many are speculating for the XRP that it will raise the price to $ 1-2. But all is predictable, no one knows what will happen. It will rise or fall down, all just waiting.
The fact is that I have repeatedly met information that certain circles of users of crypto-currencies, as well as the mobile mobile banking system, have an artificial effect on the pricing of this coin. Proceeding from this, it is necessary to draw certain conclusions.

I really do not see any reason why investors should be confused. XRP even though I have always have my skepticism about it as a result of its centralized nature, totally makes it susceptible to price pumps and dumps as well as it being controlled. Nevertheless, we got some news regarding the Xrapid program recently and some partnership of some sort which I am sure could have actually been one of the reasons why the volume and spike came about. Well, as long as it leads to profit, there is certainly nothing to be confused about here.

It's pumped now by 22.34%

That article you gave redirects the whole article to another website for the Read More.

What's with that?

I wouldn't be surprised if XRP would dump after this.
It is centralized, and this could have just been a manipulated pump for all I care, just saying! Sure, the volume really looks enticing and for me, I really do not consider XRP as a long term market to be in, but some market I would rather just do some short term trade and as long as it sings profit, no shit.

Investors rather than being confused though, should just be having a swell time accruing the profits as long as they know what they are doing. I wonder why some people believe so much in XRP to be investing long term, but all men surely knows what makes them tickle. People who follows only marketcap for choosing their investment opportunities, definitely will go for XRP as I do see there could be any other valid reasons for choosing XRP.

Something fishy is definitely going on here and I suspect most likely XRP being pumped. I would not be confused though if I am hodling XRP as it will be a perfect opportunity to sell off for profit and wait for the price to fall before I buy back.

The problem is that if it is being artificially pumped (and I believe it is) then a crash will happen suddenly and seriously. It's probably better to cash out a bit early, before it reaches the top, than hold on for a few days too long and see it evaporate.

It's always best to do that because a top is so hard to call. This really reminds me of mid 2017 when XRP would have random pump and dumps between the 20-30 cents bracket. I suspect the same is happening now.

Maybe this is the reason for a massive pump right now:

Quote
XRP was piloted with 12 banks before xRapid launch, clarifies Ripple executive

Ripple’s Head of Government and Regulatory Relations for APAC and the Middle East, Sagar Sarbhai, recently spoke at a FinTech conference concerning the use of XRP by banks. He also revealed previously unknown information regarding banks and the creation of the xRapid product.

A lot has fomo'ed on this news and maybe the primary reasons, why the price spike in the last 24 hours. I'm not sure though, the whole argument that XRP is centralized and banking sector can someone control makes me to stay away with this coins. So for those who wanted to ride the hype train, just a fair warning, don't get yourself trap after the whole hype died down.
Really? XRP keeps partnering with banks, but that doesn't do shit most of the time. I think something else is going on here. Searching for it online gets me nowhere.

There are some thing that could've caused this spike. One could be somethin related to xRapid and how financial institutions are looking into it to perform cross-border payments. Perhaps I missed the news but maybe there's something out there related to xRapid.

Second, it could be because of this: https://dailyhodl.com/2018/09/18/you-can-now-accept-xrp-on-youtube-and-twitch/

It seems like Coil is now monetizing websites like Youtube, Wikipedia, and Twitch, this allows people to donate to those websites using XRP. I wouldn't be surprised if investors are now pouring capital into the XRP ecosystem because of this news.
Yeah? Well twitch is getting more popular, so that could be a reason. Just feels like a pump for something that is stupider than this. Its Ripple afterall. Centralized shitcoin.

I am also confused about this. Just as we all think that XRP may continue to be in a downturn, its price suddenly grows by 20%. I am also looking for an answer!

Could be some insider that knows something, but it also doesnt need any big money to move market now, there is little volume in the altcoin markets right now

Maybe this is the reason for a massive pump right now:

XRP was piloted with 12 banks before xRapid launch, clarifies Ripple executive

Ripple’s Head of Government and Regulatory Relations for APAC and the Middle East, Sagar Sarbhai, recently spoke at a FinTech conference concerning the use of XRP by banks. He also revealed previously unknown information regarding banks and the creation of the xRapid product.

A lot has fomo'ed on this news and maybe the primary reasons, why the price spike in the last 24 hours. I'm not sure though, the whole argument that XRP is centralized and banking sector can someone control makes me to stay away with this coins. So for those who wanted to ride the hype train, just a fair warning, don't get yourself trap after the whole hype died down.

It's pumped now by 22.34%

That article you gave redirects the whole article to another website for the Read More.

What's with that?

I wouldn't be surprised if XRP would dump after this.
  I feel this incident is no surprise. Because XRP is a very capital intensive business because it is linked by six major banks in different countries. I think XRP still stands at No. 3 this long and get investors more from this pumping phase.
What we can expect from this centralized coin/company?

They can boost their market anytime they want but just to be sure of it and just want to let the people see that they are legitly operating and making it look like decentralized, they wouldn't do that. Investors who would invest during the pumping time is FOMOing.
A short term pump and no more. It will be back again to the bottom. You guys are holding ripple must sell your coin to take the profit.
Just because it was getting a pump and that means if ripple has a lot of advantage. There was bunch of coins that have a better technology than it. DAG cost zero fees and instant transaction.
only another short term FOMO.
During this time its tempting for those holders not to sell because greed is coming after them.

They would think that this pump will continue but selling now is a total profit. We can't help them and can't blame them if they will decide not to sell now. As long as they are aware of our suggestions and we delivered it to them as a tip, it's up to them on how they'll move.

I think XRP will have a good opportunity, with current developments giving one good thing for the future.
It is unpredictable for this, just think positively for XRP better.

Temporary forum vacation
The only big news I could see recently about Ripple is more cross border banking news on the Ripple network, although this time it also mentioned that it will use XRP, unlike before where nobody needed or was talking about using XRP,,, then again all this news has failed so far to take effect on price.

Looks just like more volume and people wanting to stock up on XRP. Maybe someone or someones are sensing the bull market returning in 2019? You never know with these things.

We shouldn't talk about XRP in here...put it in the altcoin room or something.
hey man this is altcoin speculation, i think op have right to write about xrp here, something wrong with that?
there's nothing wrong with us discussing the price of XRP here,
because this is a thread for altcoin, so it's safe, I think so

It’s been a good news week for XRP, and it’s creator Ripple, but a 20% spike in its value – and an accompanying explosion of volume – has left even its dedicated supporters confused as to what’s going on. Just after midday today (GMT+1, 7am EDT) the price of XRP began a sharp spike upward […
