XRP Poised for Historic Surge Against Bitcoin, Analyst Predicts Major Decoupling
In a significant development for the cryptocurrency market, the XRP/Bitcoin (XRP/BTC) monthly chart has decisively broken a six-year diagonal resistance trendline that had suppressed XRP's performance since 2018. A prominent analyst on X, known as X Finance Bull (XFB), suggests this shift could fundamentally alter the market's hierarchy, positioning XRP for substantial outperformance against Bitcoin.
Six-Year Downtrend Shattered and Retested
The pivotal moment occurred recently when the XRP/BTC pair not only breached the long-standing resistance but also successfully retested it as a robust support level. This critical technical confirmation signals the genesis of a new momentum buildup for XRP. Despite a mid-October "flash crash" that briefly saw XRP dip below this newfound support, the asset demonstrated impressive resilience, swiftly rebounding to maintain its position above the critical diagonal. This retest, in the analyst's view, validates the breakout that initially transpired in late 2024/early 2025, during which XRP notably outperformed Bitcoin for three consecutive months. The monthly chart now unequivocally displays early indicators of an upward trajectory, with the pair currently trading around 0.00002258 BTC.
The Path to Decoupling and Massive Gains
Looking ahead, the analyst predicts that XRP is on the cusp of a rally that could "massively outperform Bitcoin and melt the face of many Bitcoin maximalists." XFB identifies two ambitious target zones for XRP: 0.00014688 BTC and 0.00023009 BTC. Achieving these levels would translate to approximately a 6x and 10x gain relative to Bitcoin, respectively. This bullish technical outlook is further bolstered by the organic expansion of Ripple's institutional ecosystem, encompassing key partnerships with entities like Ripple Prime, GTreasury, Metaco, Standard Custody, and Rail. These collaborations are strategically cementing XRP's role as a bridge asset in global finance, hinting at a future where its utility-driven growth leads to a significant decoupling from Bitcoin's price movements.
