Will XRP’s Soaring Altcoin Season Make Bitcoin Envious? 🚀💰

by

In a world where digital currencies dance to the tune of market whims, CryptoInsightUK stands as a beacon, illuminating the path through the murky waters of crypto speculation. The long-awaited altcoin season, it seems, has finally dawned upon us, and among the myriad of contenders, XRP emerges not just as a participant but as the potential star of the show. In a recent 13-minute market update, the British analyst, with the flair of a seasoned soothsayer, declared that the dramatic plunge in Bitcoin’s dominance last week was more than just a blip—it was a clarion call, signaling the start of a new era where altcoins might finally have their day in the sun.

“Volume tells the story,” he intoned, his voice carrying the weight of a thousand trades. The red bar, a stark testament to the shift, mirrored the patterns seen in December 2020, a precursor to the last explosive altcoin cycle. If this trend continues, Bitcoin’s dominance could plummet to the 39 percent mark within a mere seven weeks, leaving ample room for altcoins to flourish and outperform.

This macroeconomic backdrop sets the stage for XRP’s grand entrance. Just as the analyst was speaking, XRP was making headlines of its own, achieving the highest weekly close in its storied history. An “accumulation-then-breakout” structure on the XRP/USD chart, reminiscent of Bitcoin’s own descent, suggests that XRP’s journey is far from over. “It’s continuation, in my opinion,” the analyst stated, predicting that XRP’s breach of its 2017-2018 all-time-high band could lead to a cascade of higher highs.

Liquidity data further supports this bullish thesis. Heat maps from TradingDifferent reveal “significant liquidity to the upside… all the way now up to about $4.26.” The analyst anticipates that XRP will make a bid for this level “probably within this week,” with a push to $4.50 looking “imminent” if Bitcoin breaches its nearby resistance. But the real excitement lies in the XRP/BTC pair, which, according to the analyst, could see a rally of “at least another 200 percent—potentially up to 500 percent—against Bitcoin.” Such a surge would catapult XRP’s market share to the 14–20 percent range, a significant leap from its current 2 percent, and could coincide with Bitcoin’s ascent to the $135,000–$150,000 corridor. “Things are going to get exciting pretty quick,” he warned, advising his followers to prepare profit-taking plans in advance.

Despite the focus on XRP, the analyst shared a personal anecdote, revealing that he had recently cashed out his sizable Ethena (ENA) position after a 100 percent gain in just two weeks. Citing over-exposure and extreme daily RSI readings, the sale bolstered his cash buffer from 2 percent to about 5 percent, providing him with the flexibility to hold onto his XRP for the long haul.

Acknowledging the difficulty in timing the cycle’s peak, the analyst admitted, “No one nails the cycle.” However, he promised to share his exit strategy in real-time once the market justified it. For those not living and breathing the charts, he recommended a disciplined approach to taking profits rather than chasing the absolute peaks.

For now, the eyes of the market remain fixed on two charts: Bitcoin dominance and XRP/BTC. A decisive breakdown in the former and a clean breakout in the latter could “ignite altseason” and validate the 500 percent upside scenario. Whether this fireworks display begins this week or takes a bit longer, the analyst remains confident that “there’s no reason we couldn’t do something like this,” sketching a near-vertical path higher with a wry smile.

At the time of writing, XRP traded at $3.46, a number that may soon be a distant memory if the analyst’s predictions come to fruition.
