Conclusion:

The price trends of both, BTC and XRP appears to be quite bullish. Ripple is likely to trace higher price spikes if it crosses 0.455 USD and $0.460 resistance levels. Though a price drop below 0.42 USD can take it to the support levels of 0.41 USD and 0.40 USD.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin believers are expecting the BTC price to cross the 10k USD mark. However, it seems a bit far as BTC might need to head towards the target price at a rapid pace.
