The reasons for the increase in the price of Ripple: the rumors, analysis, technical analysis

The price of the third capitalization crypto-currency on Monday rose by 18%. This was largely due to rumors that Ripple might soon appear on Coinbase.

Rumors about this went on for a long time, even a special petition was created, which collected 24 thousand signatures. In addition to all this, it became known that tomorrow the General Director of Ripple, brad Garlinghouse, and besides him, COO Coinbase Asif Hirji, will appear on CNBC channel. Maybe it’s just a coincidence. There is no reliable data about the air yet, even it is not clear whether they will appear together or not. Meanwhile, for many traders this has already served as a good sign and over the past 24 hours the price of XRP rose to 1.07.
