Capitalizations Index – B ∞/21M
This update is a modified version of my original chart, and while I still find value in the original chart, this one has a modified count with a few extra technical indicators to help support the overall idea. This version has one more low coming to 2700 range, but not as low as the original chart at 2000. The 2700 range can be viewed on my chart, and it’s worth a quick look, which shows how I came to that price low.
Thanks for the views and likes!

Riding the wave of recent positive news for Ripple, the XRP token is roaring with a 200% price surge over the weekend as the cryptocurrency market is reaching higher highs. But is Ripple for real or is it being fueled by confusion among new investors?
Jokes were abound this weekend as the cryptocurrency industry embraced April Fool’s Day in usual fashion. Meanwhile, Ripple experienced a serious surge with its market cap soaring from $360,000 USD to over $2.3 billion.
The price of Ripple XRP token experienced a whopping seven-fold increase in the past few days, and easily outperformed recent stalwarts such as Dash, Monero and the Litecoin in the past week. Even bitcoin, which managed to break the $1,100 barrier on news of becoming a in Japan, could not match yesterday’s 200% rise.
The rise comes amid news of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ripple’s Based on Distributed Financial Technology.
“We are pleased to join Ripple’s Global Payments Steering Group,” said Hirofumi Aihara, General Manager, MUFG Digital Innovation Division. “…Collaborating with other members of GPSG, MUFG will contribute to the creation of standards for Ripple’s network.”
Ripple is positioning itself as a cheaper payment network, particularly for large banks and enterprises, with a much higher throughput compared to bitcoin. CEO Brad Garlinghouse that Ripple could rival traditional systems such as Visa with nearly 70K transactions in just 3.7 seconds and at a lower cost than bitcoin.
3. Avg XRP fee: $0.00031. Avg BTC fee: $0.48.

However, the token might be setting up for a reality check as some the price surge has been fueled by a “misunderstanding.” Critics on Bitcointalk.org to the meteoric rise, pointing out that Ripple, the company, is not the same as the XRP token and its Ripple Consensus ledger.
to Ripple, its Global Payments Steering Group (GSPG) is where “leading banks are working with Ripple to reduce the time and cost of settlement, while also enabling new types of high-volume, low-value global transactions.”
By coming together to form the GSPG, these banks are laying the foundation for a new payments network, underpinned by Ripple’s solutions and supported by rules and governance for global settlement.
In other words, new demand for the XRP token could merely be speculative at this point as banks would be able to bypass transactions on the Ripple Consensus Ledger with their own Ripple-inspired platforms.
The commentator also noted:
Check the volumes, [Poloniex] currently stands for $150M+ volume, RCL only 20. What now is happening is a pump, driven by people misunderstanding the news.
Overall, April is getting off to a hot start for cryptocurrencies as the total market capitalization is now a record $27 billion. It has been on an uptrend, particularly accelerating as of late following the ETF in mid-March.
Though has remained relatively stable oscillating between $900 and $1,200 amid scaling uncertainty, its overall dominance of the market has seen a huge drop from 84% to 68%.
Nevertheless, while the rejection of the first ever ETF might be seen as a setback for bitcoin to some, the media attention received in the run-up to the decision appears to have attracted new investors to the crypto space as a whole.
What is the real cause for Ripple’s price rise? Is bitcoin waning dominance a temporary phenomenon? Let us know in the comments below!
