Analysis
XRP continues its bull ride; Decred, Dogecoin follow suit
Bitcoin recovered really quickly from ‘Black Thursday,’ and so did some of the altcoins. The beginning of April saw many of these altcoins go on a bull run, and surprisingly, the fluctuations in the crude oil markets don’t seem to have affected them. Altcoins like XRP, Decred, and Dogecoin have all been on a bull ride since April, and as per analysis, they might continue on this bull ride for a few more days now.
These alts were helped by Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, doing well, with the king coin trading at a price of $7,530, at the time of writing.

However, as of 16 April, the coin was in an upward trend and as the ascending triangle pattern indicates, the coin might continue this upward trend. The Awesome Oscillator, which was found to be resting above the zero line, also hinted at a bullish trend.
