Key Points:
Since the successful election of U.S. President Trump in November, XRP/BTC has risen by approximately 300%.
Due to the resonance of multiple bullish signals, this trading pair is expected to rise another 100%-250%.
Since the successful election of U.S. President Trump in November, Ripple (XRP) has outperformed Bitcoin (BTC) by nearly 300%, primarily driven by the settlement of the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit and the increasing expectations for a spot ETF.
The current key question is whether Ripple (XRP) can continue to outperform Bitcoin (BTC) as the bull market matures, or if Bitcoin (BTC) will regain market focus.
The weekly chart of XRP/BTC shows the "most reliable" bullish reversal pattern in the crypto market—an Inverse Head and Shoulders (IH&S).
On Monday, this trading pair was near the neckline resistance level of this pattern, around 3,145 Satoshis (1 Satoshi equals 0.00000001 Bitcoin (BTC)).
If it can effectively close above this level, it will confirm the pattern and open up space for a push towards 5,700 Satoshis—over 100% higher than the current price—expected to be achieved by the end of 2025.
Ripple (XRP) also experienced a "golden cross" at the weekly level in August, where its 50-week Exponential Moving Average (50-week EMA, red band) crossed above the 200-week EMA (blue band).
This crossover further strengthened the bullish momentum and increased the likelihood of Ripple (XRP) continuing to outperform Bitcoin (BTC) in this cycle.
Ripple (XRP) is approaching a resistance zone that it has failed to break since mid-2019.
This red area spans 2,440–3,570 Satoshis, which has repeatedly blocked upward attempts. Additionally, the regulatory pressure from the SEC lawsuit regarding Ripple (XRP)'s securities status has made it difficult for bulls to break through.
The partial settlement by Ripple in early 2025 alleviated these concerns and sparked market speculation that this cycle may achieve breakthroughs that previous bull markets could not.
Chart analyst Cryptoinsighttuk stated, "We are watching to see if we can build enough momentum for a breakout." He noted that if the 2,440–3,570 Satoshis range is broken, XRP/BTC could aim for 9,000 Satoshis.
The bullish logic for Ripple (XRP) may also benefit from the overall altcoin rotation trend.
David Duong, head of institutional research at Coinbase, stated in August that market conditions "currently show potential for a full entry into altcoin season as we approach September."
Coinbase defines this as: 75% of the current top 50 altcoins outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) within a 90-day window, indicating the onset of altcoin season.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC)'s dominance has dropped to about 57%, the lowest since January. This suggests that signs of capital rotation are emerging, with Ripple (XRP) being a major beneficiary.
As reported by Cointelegraph, the start of this "altcoin season" may be delayed until the U.S. approves more cryptocurrency ETFs.
