However, if the overbought RSI accompanies strong fundamentals, it points to euphoria in the market. Simply put, traders ignore correction warnings and instead double down on their bullish trades, anticipating that good news will lead to broader demand.
XRP is experiencing euphoria, primarily due to Donald Trump’s reelection as US president and his decision to remove anti-crypto regulators and replace them with pro-crypto ones. That could end a long-running SEC vs. Ripple case, paving the way for XRP ETF launches.
Moreover, XRP could outperform Bitcoin and broader crypto market assets, especially those that have attained and surpassed their 2017 record highs in the US dollar terms. XRP has underperformed most crypto assets since 2017, so its likelihood of benefiting from capital outflows from their markets in 2025 is high.
Key XRP/BTC Levels To Watch
XRP/BTC is testing a key resistance area defined by 2,200 sats and 3,120 sats for a potential breakout.
A close above the red zone (as shown in the chart above) could lead the pair toward its 0.236 Fibonacci retracement line at around 6,050 sats, up 90% from the current price levels.
Conversely, a pullback from the 2,200-3,120 satoshi range could result in a decline toward the 50-3W EMA (the red wave) at around 1,684 satoshi.
Overall, XRP seems to be a better HODL than Bitcoin in 2025.
