Is Ripple (XRP) Underpriced Because Remittance is in Demand?

Is ripple (xrp) underpriced because remittance is in demand?
  • Ripple prices sliding, down 10.3 percent
  • Remittance services in demand

Resona Bank may have disassociated themselves with RippleNet and Money Tap, but the need for remittance service is big, Ripple Inc official has revealed. With Ripple as one of the leading firms offering innovative solutions, XRP may be underpriced.

Ripple Price Analysis

Fundamentals

That the “dreaded” and unrelenting members of the so-called XRPArmy are a tireless lot is true. Concrete research findings reveal that they are bots.  After their successful Binance campaign, they have their muzzle at Skype. As Microsoft product and a “telecommunications application that specializes in providing video chat and voice calls” via the Internet subscribed by many, the XRP community wants Skype to integrate XRPTipBot. By doing so, it will be possible for them to make micropayment with settlement in XRP. The campaign is on, and the community manager did respond to their request.

Meanwhile, Ripple Inc is admitting that the demand for remittance services is too big in the Asia Pacific. That is despite all the efforts made by the global payment platform in partnering with strategic FinTech players in the zone. While Resona Bank did discontinue their cooperation with SBI Money Tap initiative, this revelation hint of the ground yet to be covered by Ripple and how banks are still dominant despite their expensive and high latency solutions.

Candlestick Arrangement

In an effort versus result point of view, sellers have the upper hand, if we break down price action from a top-down approach. However, in short to medium term—with analysis from the daily chart, buyers are leading.

Visibly, although sellers are pressing lower, they are yet to reverse gains of Apr-2. With the rejection of higher highs, Ripple (XRP) is back in consolidation. As a result of this arrangement, risk-off traders should exit their longs and wait for reversal above 34 cents or even 38 cents and 40 cents before concluding that bulls are back.

Most important is the resistance at 34 cents, our previous buy trigger line coinciding with the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement level of Dec 2018 high low. On the other hand, any drop below 30 cents invalidates our outlook paving the way for liquidators aiming at 15 cents or lower.

Technical Indicators

Apr-11 bar is our reference. It has volumes of 32 million which is lower than average–at 46 million. Because it is bearish closing below 34 cents, buyers would be back in contention if there is counter, high-volume and wide-ranging bull bar with volumes above averages of 39 million. If there is a confirming high-volume bear bar confirming Apr-11 draw down, odds are XRP may drop below 30 cents.

Coinbase BCash Scandal: Ver Says Insider Trading A ‘Non-Crime’

bitcoin.com owner and bitcoin Cash (BCash) proponent Roger Ver has described Coinbase’s insider trading scandal as a “non-crime.”


Ver: Advance Trading Would Have Been Better

Speaking in a new interview with CNBC, which this week also came under scrutiny for its sudden BCash support, Ver implied it was up to users to “be careful” when using cryptocurrency exchanges.

“I think insider trading is a non-crime… If a bunch of people had traded in advance, then the price wouldn’t have been nearly as volatile,” he told hosts including pro-bitcoin Brian Kelly.

Ver’s previous appearance on the network ignited a storm on social media, with figures such as Max Keiser opposing the network’s choice of guest for mainstream viewers. Keiser described BCash as “borderline fraud” and CNBC as “fake news.”

Responding to Kelly’s query as to whether BCash’s increased popularity would cause it the same challenges as bitcoin currently faces, Ver continued that bigger blocks would avoid issues such as network congestion.

Reddit User Says ‘Mate At Coinbase’ Confirmed BCash Launch

Yet the ties between Ver and the media giant run deeper.

As Bitcoinist reported Wednesday, an out-of-character spate of pro-BCash tweets from CNBC revealed the work of Gaby and Paul Wasenstein, a husband-wife team which worked both as its director of marketing and organized BCash events.

A photograph of Paul Wasenstein with Ver holding a CNBC logo has been circulating around cryptocurrency social media circles.

Predictably, the backlash from bitcoin users angered by the sudden BCash promotion continues to mount.

Slush, creator of the first bitcoin mining pool and Trezor hardware wallet  CEO, wrote on Twitter that the matter of BCash, along with the ongoing insider trading scandal at Coinbase, was a “decentralization matter.”

“Avoid both,” he added, with ShapeShift CEO Erik Voorhees describing his own objections as “politicized propaganda.”

On Coinbase’s promised investigation into the insider trading, analyst Tone Vays meanwhile unearthed what he considers evidence staff broke rules about BCash prior to the release.

A Reddit thread Vays found shows user u/mukiwa2 tell users he “has a mate at (Coinbase),” which allowed them to know it would shortly add bitcoin Cash.

u/mukiwa2 has since deleted the comment.
