Meanwhile, Ripple’s price is already above the daily Ichimoku cloud, and the door for further gains already opened on September 20 when XRP started a new uptrend.
Ripple’s XRP is now supported by the Ichimoku cloud, and even though it began to pull back on Tuesday, it still hasn’t shown signs of a bearish reversal.

On the fundamental side, some crypto enthusiasts have started to wonder if Stellar is prepping to go head-to-head with one of its main competitors, Ripple. Both Stellar and Ripple are focused on providing the same blockchain-driven solutions, which is to provide a fast, safe, and cheap global transaction. However, beating a company like Ripple who has over 120 financial partners is no easy task.
