Data analyst and financial chartist Celal Kucuker (@CelalKucuker) believes XRP may enter a major expansion phase against Bitcoin as the XRP/BTC trading pair approaches the end of a multi-year compression structure.
In a recent post, he stated that XRP has the potential to outperform Bitcoin by 10x. He pointed to a chart pattern that suggests a breakout could be approaching.
Is XRP Breaking Out Against Bitcoin?
Kucuker argued that the setup already looks clear on higher timeframes. He added that XRP is “about to enter a parabolic move” while many traders still expect a pullback before the next major advance. According to him, investors may underestimate the scale of the move if momentum accelerates after the initial breakout.
The chart attached to his post tracks XRP against Bitcoin on the monthly timeframe. It shows XRP/BTC trading inside a large symmetrical triangle that has developed since 2018. Price action has compressed for years between descending resistance and rising support. That structure now appears close to its apex, where volatility often expands sharply.
XRP/BTC Compression Nears Resolution
The descending resistance line connects several major highs dating back to the 2018 cycle peak. At the same time, the ascending support line has continued to hold higher lows across multiple years. The last time the price action retested the lower trendline, XRP jumped by over 500%, and the pair has remained just below the upper trendline since then.
Kucuker’s chart also includes a projected breakout path that targets a move above the upper resistance level before a strong continuation higher. The projection marks a possible 907.35% rally from current levels if XRP gains significant strength against Bitcoin during the next expansion phase.
What Does this Mean for XRP?
The setup matters because XRP/BTC measures XRP’s performance relative to Bitcoin rather than against the US dollar. A breakout on this pair would signal XRP gaining value faster than Bitcoin itself. Historically, strong XRP/BTC rallies have coincided with aggressive XRP price expansions during bullish market conditions.
The current structure also shows XRP/BTC stabilizing after a long decline. Since late 2024, the pair has started printing tighter consolidation patterns near resistance rather than falling toward lower support levels. That shift may indicate accumulation before the 10x move the analyst anticipates.
For now, XRP/BTC remains just below the descending resistance level that has capped the price for years. A confirmed breakout above that trendline could shift momentum sharply in XRP’s favor.
