The XRP chart against Bitcoin is causing double takes this week - and not just among casual onlookers. Veteran trader DonAlt, who is known for predicting XRP’s 500% increase last year, posted the latest XRP/BTC setup with a brief description that perfectly summarized the situation.
The post, which features a zoomed-out view of XRP’s wild pivot from a flatline to what appears to be the early stages of another squeeze, has put the pair back on the radar.
The chart itself is striking, to say the least: an aggressive vertical rally in late 2024, followed by nearly half a year of sideways drift, and now a clean rounding off into a potential breakout.
To some, it looks like noise. But to those who have followed DonAlt’s calls before, it feels like déjà vu.
Back in November 2024, XRP was hovering around $0.70 when DonAlt first shared his long-term roadmap. It showed three clear levels: $1.20, $2.90 and $6.90. That might have sounded crazy at the time, but by July 2025, XRP was already approaching $2.93. Two levels cleared; one to go.
This latest post shifts the focus to the XRP/BTC pair, a metric that is often ignored until things get serious.
XRP is up more than 45% this month and over 30% versus Bitcoin. It is trading just under the level at which some expected rejection. If this zone gives way, the next logical checkpoint is DonAlt’s long-standing $6.90 - a number that is still intact and just one move away.
For the XRP/BTC pair, such a chart explosion could mean 0.000058 BTC for one XRP - something not seen in seven years, since 2018.
