Ripple has just experienced a strong and sharp bullish price move while Bitcoin has been maintaining its mild uptrend since the last one day. With this, finally, the crypto market has taken an optimistic turn in the first week of 2020. Notably, Ethereum has traced a clearer price escalation, as it has recently managed to trade above $140 from its today’s opening price of $135.22.
Yesterday morning’s price of XRP seems to be lacking momentum. The coin kept ranging between $0.1931 to $0.1973 for a whole day and it closed in the same price range. If we compare the recent price escalation with yesterday’s opening price, it has surged by more than 9%.
