Bitcoin has been incurring some decent upwards momentum in the time since it visited $6,500, which has allowed major altcoins like XRP to similarly put some distance between their current prices and their recent lows.<\/p>\n
Importantly, analysts are noting that XRP may see some short-term gains against its Bitcoin trading pair, which could come about as a result of the aggregated crypto market incurring momentum against BTC.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, XRP<\/a> is trading up 1% at its current price<\/a> of $0.23, which marks a slight climb from its daily lows of roughly $0.22.<\/p>\n XRP has put a significant amount of distance between its recent lows of $0.20 that were set concurrently with Bitcoin\u2019s drop to $6,500, and the drop to this level nearly instantly sparked the bout of extreme buying pressure that has helped lead it higher over the past several days.<\/p>\n Bitcoin\u2019s price action has been heavily influencing XRP, and it does appear that the near-term BTC resistance level that will likely determine whether it \u2013 and ergo other major altcoins \u2013 see further upwards momentum exists at $8,000.<\/p>\n Bitcoin Jack, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, explained in a recent tweet that he believes XRP may soon surge against its BTC trading pair, but also noted that the poor support at its current price levels may mean that further losses are imminent before this surge commences.<\/p>\n \u201cLet’s give $XRP another go. Support here looks like shit, if it breaks this is where I want to get long. Looks like a decent opportunity to trade it back towards range high,\u201d he said while referencing a chart showing the levels he is targeting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Let's give $XRP<\/a> another go<\/p>\n Support here looks like shit, if it breaks this is where I want to get long<\/p>\n Looks like a decent opportunity to trade it back towards range high pic.twitter.com\/C6H8dT1uPg<\/a><\/p>\n — \/\/Bitcoin \ud835\udd75ack \ud83d\udc10 (@BTC_JackSparrow) November 29, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
