SHIB vs XRP: Will the Memecoin Flip the Embattled Token?

#SHIBAđŸ”„ #XRP"

If recent trends and predictions are correct, Ripple (XRP) could drop below Shiba Inu (SHIB) on the market cap standings. At press time SHIB was number 10 while XPR had a higher capitalization, placing it at number 6.

However, XRP’s performance lately has been underwhelming when compared to that of SHIB. For instance, the price of XRP has increased by 2.17% in the last seven days. But SHIB has had an incredible 70.49% climb within the same period.

High Conviction for SHIB But None for XRP

On March 9, analyst Ali Martinez predicted that SHIB could be set for another 40% increase. According to Martinez, SHIB had formed a symmetrical triangle on the 4-hour chart. 

If the price sustains above $0.000038, it could rise as high as $0.000052. However, the analyst also noted that a slip below $0.000033 could invalidate the bullish thesis.
