Further, San Francisco-based startup has also released white papers hinting at an upgrade for the underlying technology of XRP. However, the today's drop indicates the good news has been ignored by the markets or is being overshadowed by the broad-based losses in crypto space. https://media.coindesk.com/uploads/2018/02/download-5-1.png Whatever the case, XRP is looking heavy on the technical charts. Also, it is worth noting the cryptocurrency is down 24.99 percent from the recent high of $1.3 (reached Feb. 10). The BPI closed (as per UTC) above $11,000 on Feb. 17, but has since struggled to maintain the bullish momentum. https://media.coindesk.com/uploads/2018/02/coindesk-bpi-chart-1-1.jpeg Hope it will gain its market again!!!
