XRP Just Humiliated Bitcoin & Ethereum: The Chart That Has Everyone Freaking Out

by

Right, so imagine you’re at a dinner party where the main topic is cryptocurrency (because nobody has good gossip, apparently), and suddenly XRP waltzes in wearing sequins, grabbing the mic, and belting out “I’m Still Standing!” Elton John would probably clap. While it’s nowhere near its glory days — let’s be honest, it’s still that friend trying to relive last summer’s Ibiza — XRP has apparently decided it is too cool for Bitcoin and Ethereum, thank you very much. 🕺

XRP Blows Past Bitcoin and Ethereum, Waves from the Rearview Mirror

Legal eagle Bill Morgan, longtime XRP fan and budding market hype-man, decided to take a break from shouting “Objection!” at everything to share a rather smug update. Evidence: his latest “I told you so” in screenshot form. Apparently, XRP/USDT shot up by nearly 10% over the last week. Bitcoin, meanwhile, is crying into its blockchain pillow, and Ethereum’s looking for a therapist.

XRP/BTC limped in with 1.18% for the week (the participation trophy of gains), and managed a whole 1.5% in 24 hours. When pitted against Ethereum, though, things got dramatic: a 20.73% nosedive in a week. Someone order ETH a rescue helicopter. 🚁

Mysterious Chart Patterns: Or, Is This How Wizards See Markets?

Analyst MasterAnanda (great name, by the way — sounds like someone who’d give you life advice while balancing on a yoga ball) spotted a “strange signal” on XRP’s price chart. Which, in crypto, could mean anything from alien contact to someone spilling coffee on their keyboard.

Apparently, back in December 2024, XRP’s chart boasted “huge candles” (not the scented kind, sadly) — peaks flaring like a drama queen at the start of every month. The trend carried on through price dips, like a soap opera star refusing to exit the show.

January 2025 saw more oversized candles as XRP peaked, only to shriek melodramatically as volatility yanked the price around right through April. It was like watching your friend’s on-again, off-again relationship on social media—with more charts, less passive-aggression.

Then, with zero warning, the candles shrank in mid-April (maybe someone finally found the dimmer switch). Volatility? Down. Yet the price, ever the stubborn optimist, drifted higher — not enough for fireworks, but enough to make people whisper “bullish” at brunch.

MasterAnanda notes the current market’s lost its bearish bite. Instead of raging downward, it’s all polite consolidation, pausing as if to check its reflection before heading out again. Is it actually bullish, or just too tired for drama?

Should this cosmic signal morph into reality, XRP could be headed toward that fabled $3.6 mark — a 50%-ish leap from where it’s loitering now. Cue dreams of all-time highs, moon landings, and Lambos with diamond-studded seatbelts. 🚀
