XRP News Today: XRP Gains Relative Strength as Ethereum Nears Consolidation Phase

Analyst CrediBULL Crypto has signaled a potential shift in market dynamics that could see XRP outperform Ethereum in the near future. Based on a detailed analysis of key charts—XRP/ETH, XRP/USD, and ETH/USD—the conditions appear to be aligning for XRP to regain its relative strength against the second-largest cryptocurrency [1].

The XRP/ETH ratio has retested a critical support zone following a three-month correction after a dramatic 700% rally. This support cluster, spanning approximately 0.0007322–0.00065 ETH per XRP, coincides with the midrange of the 2025 advance. Should XRP/ETH maintain this level, it would reinforce the higher-time-frame uptrend, setting the stage for a potential move toward the 0.0010–0.00128 range [1]. The recent consolidation has seen the pair mean-revert after briefly testing resistance marked as a "deviation," with key overhead levels at 0.0007864, 0.0010106, and near 0.0012768 [1].

Meanwhile, XRP’s monthly chart shows a nine-month period of consolidation above its highest monthly close in history, around $1.90. This prolonged period of consolidation above a key psychological threshold is often indicative of a basing pattern preceding a strong trend continuation. The orderly compression near $1.90 suggests accumulation rather than distribution, reinforcing the potential for a continuation move [1].

In contrast, Ethereum appears to be nearing a phase of consolidation following a clean five-wave advance from its $2,100 base. ETH is now pressing into the area beneath its previous all-time high of $4,880, with a recent high at $4,787 and a pullback to $4,226. The analyst notes that the completion of this impulse structure statistically favors a period of time-based digestion or price-based retracement. A broad demand zone between the mid-$3,000s and just under $4,000 is mapped as a key reference for potential consolidation or correction [1].

Taken together, these developments suggest a relative-strength scenario skewed in favor of XRP. If the XRP/ETH ratio holds above 0.00073–0.00065 and Ethereum consolidates around its prior highs or retraces into the key demand area, the path of least resistance is for XRP to gain traction against ETH. According to the analyst, “XRP may be gearing up for its next impulse while ETH may be cooling off from its last” [1].

At press time, XRP was trading at $3.01, with the 1-day chart showing the token maintaining support above key levels [1].
