Many hope correction will cease at 6k which is reached on 6th of Feb. If btc found its dip then correction is over and clear skies ahead at least to 18k for btc. But behold TA experts diversify there as 1 group calls for moon after correction the other group says after reaching 18-20k we can see a 5th elliot wave to around 4k. So act carefully.
As for ripple I'm afraid it will follow btc movements like the rest of altcoins. No alts are independant from btc movements. Charts have proven this so far. But for a normal bullish trend this is a new and modest prediction for the end 2018.

Do your own due diligence. Many penny altcoins offer greater gains but with greater risks. Ripple is ripple. Everybody knows its success and promising future. Risks are much smaller. Nice trading
