Analyst Says XRP Breakout Against Bitcoin Will Be ‘Obvious in Hindsight’

XRP has been attempting to show significant strength against Bitcoin (BTC), and analysts believe this momentum could soon become more pronounced.

According to CrediBULL Crypto, the current XRP/BTC structure is one that traders will likely look back on as an “obvious” accumulation zone they missed.
XRP/BTC in the Battlefield
In a tweet, CrediBULL shared the XRP/BTC chart on the four-hour time frame, showing the pair trading around 0.000026. This came after a retracement from its late 2024 peak, when XRP touched 0.00003421 BTC.

After months of decline—marked by Bitcoin’s outperformance over XRP—the market is stabilizing after finding support near 0.00001938 BTC. The downtrend reversed in July, and since then, XRP has staged a comeback against Bitcoin. However, the battle has been tough, as Bitcoin has not backed down.

Notably, according to CrediBULL’s chart, the XRP/BTC pair reached 0.00003067 again in late July, coinciding with XRP hitting $3.66 that month. While XRP’s uptrend stalled again, Bitcoin slightly took over, reaching a new peak above $124,000 in August. This was followed by an ongoing pullback, while XRP has yet to make significant progress.

CrediBULL’s chart suggests that the recent price action in XRP/BTC resembles an inverse head and shoulders pattern, which is a traditional bullish signal.
Resistance for XRP
On the upside, XRP faces resistance near 0.00003067 BTC and 0.00003421 BTC. A decisive breakout above these levels will pave the way toward 0.00003998 BTC, which will be a significant move in favor of XRP relative to Bitcoin.

Assuming this breakout occurs while Bitcoin remains at approximately $111,000, the 0.00003998 BTC rate would translate to an XRP price of $4.47 in dollar terms. This would mark a new milestone for XRP after eight years of trading below $3.84.
“In Hindsight, It Will Be Obvious”
CrediBULL Crypto emphasized that the current price action may not seem convincing to traders, but once the full breakout plays out, it will appear clear in retrospect. The analyst suggests that this phase represents an opportunity to position early, ahead of market recognition.

XRP Can Reach $32
Other analysts have shared a similar outlook. For instance, Bitcoin analyst Dr. Cat predicts XRP could hit $32 during this bull cycle, assuming Bitcoin doubles to $270K. His forecast is based on XRP/BTC reaching 12,000 satoshis, levels last seen in 2017–2018. Currently, XRP is at 2,638 satoshis, or 0.00002639 BTC.

In other words, attaining the projected level would mark a return to XRP’s historical peak, with the move likely occurring by 2026. Dr. Cat gives XRP an 85% chance of reaching $9 even if Bitcoin falls short of $270K, though he did not share a revised upper target.
