Crypto Investor Sets XRP Buy Target at This Key Entry Zone

• Dennis Liu awaits 20-23% XRP / BTC ratio decline before first purchase.
• Target entry zone between 0.000017-0.000019 BTC ratio levels.
• Ripple coin gains 12.54% year-to-date but struggles above $2.50 resistance.

Crypto angel investor Dennis Liu has revealed his strategy for entering XRP, setting specific conditions he wants to see fulfilled before making his first purchase of the asset. Liu, who hosts the VirtualBacon channel, has never owned XRP but expects the next six months could provide an ideal entry opportunity.

XRP has gained 12.54% since January but continues to struggle to break above the $2.50 resistance level for a sustained rally. While Bitcoin recently reached new all-time highs above $112,000, XRP has remained range-bound, prompting Liu to wait for better positioning.

In December, XRP hit $2.50 following Donald Trump’s election victory before pulling back to $1.80. Liu identified that area as a clear sell zone, with the current price of $2.35 still above his preferred entry levels.

XRP/BTC ratio guides entry strategy

Liu’s analysis focuses on the XRP/BTC trading pair rather than dollar price action. The ratio currently trades at 0.00002136, having formed a rounded top pattern while holding support around 0.000022 since November.

Liu plans to buy if that support breaks and the ratio drops another 20-23%, landing between 0.000017 and 0.000019. He calls this the “value zone” where other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana have historically started major rallies.

Two scenarios could deliver his target entry zone. If Bitcoin holds steady around $100,000, XRP could slide to $1.80. Alternatively, if Bitcoin pushes higher toward $128,000 while XRP remains flat, the ratio would still decline into his preferred range.

Liu expects this dip to materialize and suggested a quick drop to $1.80-$1.85 could serve as a trap that eliminates weak holders, creating an optimal buying opportunity.

Beyond technical analysis, Liu points to several fundamental developments strengthening XRP’s prospects. The SEC lawsuit settlement, CME futures trading, Canadian spot ETF launch, and pending U.S. ETF filing all contribute to improved market infrastructure.

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is also gaining traction, adding utility to the XRP ecosystem. Liu views these developments as quiet but steady improvements to XRP’s fundamental position.

He noted that the Ripple coin has underperformed against Bitcoin since 2017, suggesting a break from this downtrend would mark a major shift for both the coin and other older altcoins from previous market cycles.
