The XRP/BTC monthly chart has finally snapped the long diagonal that’s capped 
XRP since 2018, and one analyst on X thinks that shift could rewrite the 
pecking order. Posting under the handle X Finance Bull (XFB), the analyst 
argued that XRP will soon start to outperform Bitcoin. This is because the 
XRP/BTC pair has not only broken out but also retested the trendline as 
support, and this has certified the start of a new buildup of momentum.

ETF Hype Retest Of A Six-Year Breakout Trendline The mid-October flash crash 
that rippled through the crypto market left a visible mark on the XRP/BTC 
chart, creating a deep downward wick that momentarily dipped below the long- 
standing resistance trendline. However, as Bitcoin started to recover to above 
$110,000, XRP struggled to keep up and lost ground relative to Bitcoin. 
Interestingly, price action shows that this move was short-lived, and XRP has 
started to recover against Bitcoin in recent trading sessions. As shown on the 
monthly candlestick timeframe chart below, the wick fell to the exact level of 
the breakout retest, a point where former resistance turned into new support. 
This breakout occurred in late 2024/early 2025, when XRP outperformed Bitcoin 
for three consecutive months. From there, the XRP/Bitcoin pair was able to 
break out of a downward-sloping resistance trendline of lower highs spanning 
over six years. Since then, however, 2025 has been characterized by more 
months of Bitcoin outperforming XRP than months of XRP outperforming Bitcoin, 
with October falling into the former group of months. Particularly, during the 
flash crash, the XRP/BTC pair plunged to around 0.000007 before rebounding 
almost immediately, a move that, according to XFB, represents the long-awaited 
retest of the broken trendline. XRP/Bitcoin 1M chart. Source: @Xfinancebull 
Since that retest, XRP has recovered impressively, with the pair maintaining a 
monthly close above the diagonal that once acted as a ceiling. This technical 
confirmation signals the completion of the breakout from the 2018 to 2024 
downtrend that had defined XRP’s multi-year underperformance against Bitcoin. 
The monthly structure is now displaying the early signs of an upward shift, 
with the pair trading around 0.00002258 BTC. XRP To Decouple And Outperform 
Bitcoin? According to the analyst, XRP is about to undergo a rally that 
massively outperforms Bitcoin and melts the face of many Bitcoin maximalists. 
XFB’s chart outlines two target zones ahead for XRP: 0.00014688 BTC and 
0.00023009 BTC. The first target corresponds to the consolidation area seen 
between 2018 and 2019, while the second represents a major resistance cluster 
from the earlier phase of XRP’s creation. If XRP/BTC rallies to those levels, 
it would amount to approximately a 6x and 10x gain relative to Bitcoin, 
respectively. Related Reading: ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’: Ripple President 
Sees Bright Path Ahead For XRP The analyst also connects the technical setup 
to Ripple’s growing institutional ecosystem. He pointed to Ripple Prime, 
GTreasury, Metaco, Standard Custody, and Rail as part of the infrastructure 
that&#8217;s setting up XRP as a bridge asset for global finance. These partnerships 
give XRP an edge heading into the coming months, as it moves into real 
institutional utility and starts outperforming Bitcoin. If these developments 
continue, the incoming decoupling of the XRP/BTC pair could become one of the 
most significant events for XRP. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at 
$3.63, up by 3.5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, chart
