Is XRP on the Verge of Surpassing Ethereum? Key Indicators Point to an Upsurge
Analysts speculate that XRP might soon outshine Ethereum, despite recent fluctuations, as technical signals indicate a potential uptrend.
XRP is currently trading at $2.42 with a 24-hour volume of $5.1 billion. Though it has dipped by 3% in the last day and 15% over the week, the charts hint that XRP may be on the cusp of overtaking Ethereum soon.
Falling Wedge Pattern Indicates a Possible Upswing
The XRP/ETH chart reveals a falling wedge pattern, according to analyst CryptoBull. This structure typically signifies an impending upward trend, especially as XRP approaches the lower support area at 0.0006 ETH.

Interestingly, such patterns usually signal the conclusion of downtrends. Should XRP break above the upper line, it may commence gaining on Ethereum, particularly if it surpasses the 200-day moving average that acts as resistance. Currently, XRP is fluctuating within a narrowing range.
Additionally, XRP has crossed above a falling channel in the BTC pair, a structure maintained since 2017. Following its breakout in late 2024, XRP continued to stay above the 50-period EMAs, signaling potential strength.

In a similar vein, XRP is currently navigating a price range between $2 and $3.3, reflective of previous highs from 2021 and 2017. Analysts suggest that XRP remains in a reaccumulation phase and if it breaks above $3.3, it may signal a significant upward movement ahead.

This price range has captured the attention of long-term holders as it is considered crucial for determining the next direction.
