XRPEUR Tumbles Towards Ichimoku Cloud – Future Cloud Bullish
XRP’s fall on Tuesday was despite receiving positive comments from some high-profile names in the financial circles, including former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke at Ripple’s Swell conference in Toronto. With this, reaching the all-time high level of 0.35, which was the price of XRP versus EUR on its first day of trading, could take a bit longer than anticipated.

GBPJPY Confirmed Below 4-Hour Ichimoku
The GBP/JPY pair confirmed below the 4-hour Ichimoku cloud while still progressing within a longer-term consolidation after it dropped from the one-year high levels earlier in October. The cloud remains incredibly thin, so with more economic data being released from the UK, we could expect this to be the calm before the storm.
