Despite its slow momentum over the past few weeks, XRP is still on analysts’ 
radar as they look beyond its dollar price action and into its performance 
against gold. One analyst has said that the long-term XRP/Gold ratio has just 
reached a historical support zone, signaling a familiar technical setup that 
could determine its next move. XRP/Gold Ratio Arrives At Critical Support 
Level Market expert ‘Steph is Crypto’ has released a fresh analysis focusing 
on the XRP to gold ratio and its historical behaviour. In his post on X this 
Tuesday, he stated that the ratio has returned to a long-standing support zone 
around $0.0004, which has consistently marked major turning points in XRP’s 
price action relative to gold. Related Reading: Top Bullish Predictions That 
Put XRP Price At New All-Time Highs Above $3.8 According to the analyst, this 
same area previously preceded powerful upside moves in the XRP/gold ratio. 
Each prior visit to this zone was followed by a sharp reversal higher, as 
highlighted by the circled lows and steep advances that followed. The chart 
shows rallies of more than 800% in 2020, over 120% in 2022, and about 530% in 
2024. Steph is Crypto also pointed to momentum conditions, noting that the 
Relative Strength Index (RSI) was oversold in the past when the XRP/gold ratio 
hit the historical support. In the current 2026 cycle, the RSI sits around 
33.38, reflecting a similar oversold setup to previous cycles. According to 
the analyst, this suggests downside momentum is fading. The general outlook of 
this analysis suggests that if past trends repeat, the XRP/gold ratio could 
experience another strong rally this cycle. This time, Steph is Crypto 
predicts a rally from the support around $0.0004 to over $0.0018, representing 
a gain of more than 350%. Analyst Links XRP Trajectory To That Of Gold And 
Silver In a subsequent post, Steph is Crypto shared another analysis comparing 
the historical price movements and expansion phase of gold and silver with 
XRP. He presented parallel charts for each asset, highlighting distinct phases 
preceding major price rallies in the precious metals while illustrating the 
potential path for XRP based on gold and silver’s past performance. Related

Time High Soon The chart showed that gold and silver experienced a major 
distribution phase in 2021, followed by a compression phase in 2023 and an 
expansion in 2026. In Gold’s case, its price reversal was sharp and vertical, 
with minimal pullbacks before reaching an all-time high near $4,700. Silver’s 
movement was more muted, showing significant volatility from 2023 to 2025 
before accelerating in 2026 to peak above $91. Based on these performances, 
Steph is Crypto predicts that XRP could follow a similar trajectory. The 
cryptocurrency has completed its distribution phase above $3 and its 
compression stage near $2.3, and the analyst now expects it to enter an 
expansion phase, with a projected ATH target of $32. Featured image from

Bitcoin’s latest recovery above $94,000 raises up the question of whether it 
is the next leg for the continuation of a bull cycle or the final rally before 
a deeper reset. However, an interesting technical outlook shared on 
TradingView by crypto analyst Xanrox suggests the bullish path many traders 
are watching could ultimately end lower than expected, even if price strength 
is strong in the near term. Elliott Wave Setup Leaves Room For One More Push 
Higher Technical analysis of Bitcoin&#8217;s price action on the weekly candlestick 
timeframe chart shows the cryptocurrency has completed a five-impulse wave 
that goes as far back as early 2023. This impulse wave count ended with 
Bitcoin&#8217;s peak above $126,000 in October 2025 and the cryptocurrency is now 
playing out corrective waves ABC. Related Reading: Next XRP Wave Shows Where 
Price Is Headed Next, But There’s A Catch Based on the Elliott Wave theory, 
Xanrox noted that Bitcoin may already have completed a sharp decline from a 
projected 2025 peak near $125,000 down to the low-$80,000 range, labeling that 
move as a corrective wave A. The price action is now viewed as being in a 
bullish counter-trend phase, commonly referred to as wave (B) or (X), which is 
known to retrace a portion of the prior decline before rolling over. In this 
scenario, Bitcoin could still advance to as high as the $100,000 to $103,000 
range over the coming weeks or months and even encourage a brief rotation into 
altcoins during the advance. That upside, however, is corrective and not 
impulsive, and the next move is a larger move lower once the structure is 
complete. Bitcoin Weekly Candlestick. Source: TradingView Long-Term Structure 
Points To A Painful Reset Window Xanrox’s analysis places Bitcoin within a 
long-term linear structure stretching from 2017 into 2026, highlighting how 
previous market cycles ended with deep corrections after euphoric peaks. The 
analysis uses the 2018 and 2022 drawdowns, which erased more than three- 
quarters of Bitcoin’s value each time, as anchors for what could unfold next 
for the leading cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Get Ready For An XRP Price 
Explosion Once This Happens; Analyst According to this framework, the next 
major corrective phase is projected to play out in 2026, when Bitcoin could 
fall into the sub-$60,000 region, with $57,000 as the most important area of 
interest where the correction might end. The $57,000 price correction target 
is based on the location of the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement when projected 
from the recent 2025 peak and is going to be just above the 200-week moving 
average. The projected move would still represent a correction of roughly 54% 
from the 2025 high if this actually turns out to be the cycle peak. However, 
it is important to note that the presence of Spot Bitcoin ETFs introduces a 
stabilizing force compared to earlier cycles in 2018 and 2022, and so any high 
correction might find a strong support level before falling as low as $57,000.
