As for the rest of the cryptocurrency market, we are relatively bearish on XRP. Our view is based on several technical and fundamental factors. Technical factors are described lower in the text.
Meanwhile, fundamental factors include a strengthening dollar due to the FED's rising interest rates (which are likely to increase again during the current week), economic tightening, and a slowing global economy. These factors weigh on the stock market to which risk assets like cryptocurrencies are correlated. Therefore, we foresee weakness for both of these asset classes in the medium-term and long-term.
As a result, we think the current rally in the cryptocurrency market represents just a temporary relief before more selling takes over.
