XRP recovering after fall

Over the past 24 hours, the sixth most prominent crypto in terms of market cap, XRP, surged by over 5%, printing several big green candles on an hourly chart. After that, the price dropped suddenly, eliminating that growth. It has just begun to recover, rising by slightly under 1% on the Bitstamp exchange.

Overall, the XRP price has been rising by leaps and bounds since Jan. 9. On Jan. 12, a big rise of over 12% took place, followed by a 4% fall soon after that.

Last week, as covered by U.Today, Santiment on-chain data aggregator noticed a large increase of wallet activity. This was what pushed the price up by nearly 12%, as mentioned above. Besides, XRP's social dominance spike was reported by the analytics company too.

As of this writing, XRP token is trading at the $0.038420 level.
