Developer to XRP Holders: See What This Chart Says About XRP Expansion

A new market analysis from crypto commentator and developer Bird suggests XRP may be approaching another period of strong price expansion if Bitcoin dominance begins to decline again.
Using an annotated chart comparing XRP’s price action with Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D), Bird explained that the current market structure resembles previous stages in the cycle that preceded significant XRP rallies.
In a post on X, Bird urged XRP holders to examine the chart closely, stating a recurring pattern that has appeared throughout the current market cycle. According to his analysis, XRP has historically gained momentum shortly after Bitcoin dominance reached key rejection points.
The chart overlays XRP’s price with Bitcoin dominance on the weekly timeframe and marks several previous instances when BTC.D reversed lower. Each of those periods is accompanied by annotations indicating Bitcoin dominance drops while XRP rises.
Previous BTC.D Rejections Coincided With XRP Strength
Bird explained that every major rejection in Bitcoin dominance during this cycle has been followed by aggressive expansion in XRP. His chart highlights multiple examples dating back to 2024, showing that as Bitcoin’s share of the overall cryptocurrency market declined, XRP experienced notable upward price movements.
The annotations identify several historical moments where BTC.D rolled over after reaching local highs. In each case, Bird noted that XRP advanced shortly afterward, suggesting that capital rotated away from Bitcoin and into alternative cryptocurrencies.
Based on those observations, Bird believes the relationship has repeated often enough to deserve attention as Bitcoin dominance approaches another key technical level.
Current Structure Could Lead to Another Rotation
According to Bird, Bitcoin dominance is now compressing into what he described as another major decision point within a long-term sideways trading structure. His chart includes converging trend lines forming a narrowing range, indicating that BTC.D may soon make a decisive move.
Bird stated that the structure “looks heavy,” implying that he expects downside pressure to increase. He added that if Bitcoin dominance breaks down from its current position, XRP could enter what he described as its next major utility expansion phase in a relatively short period.
The chart projects a sharp decline in BTC.D alongside XRP’s steep upward move, illustrating the outcome Bird expects if historical patterns continue.
Ripple’s Development Remains Part of the Outlook
Beyond technical analysis, Bird also pointed to Ripple’s continued development as a factor supporting his outlook. He said the market is approaching a stage where capital rotation into altcoins could accelerate, particularly as Ripple continues building what it describes as the Internet of Value.
Although Bird’s analysis remains a market prediction rather than a guarantee of future performance, his post presents both technical and fundamental reasons for maintaining a bullish outlook on XRP.
