Over the past few days there has been a lot of speculation and talk among YouTubers and other XRP enthusiasts about a XRP bull run coming within the month of May. Many of them are basing their predictions of this bull run on the past charts. For example, in May 22, 2017 to May 29, 2017 the price of XRP went from ~.22 to .29 and in May 21, 2018 to May 28, 2018 the price of XRP went from ~.60 to .68.
Another reason that some of the XRP content writers and YouTubers are making bull run predictions is based on the many partnerships that Ripple are getting into with large financial institutions. There is a good article that was written about some of the partnerships that I thought was very educational on a website called Decrypt media ( https://decryptmedia.com/5313/complete-ripple-partnerships-xrapid-xrp). This is just one site that talks about these things and there are many others.
Today there has been of sudden increase in the price of XRP and it looks like it could be heading into a major breakout. If you are interested you can check out the chart and see what I am talking about. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ripple/#charts.
The interesting thing about today's run is that it appears as though history is repeating itself from the past few runs during this time in the month of May.
