A lot of good news for Ripple and financial institutions they are partnering with, but I think that isn't enough to drive the price up.

Many people also think Ripple will be announced on Coinbase next, so people are buying in preparation for that. Coinbase is often the gateway for people to get into cryptocurrency. When people see the "low" price of one Ripple token they will want to buy it, not thinking about market cap at all.
