After months of low-volatility grind and fading interest, XRP has finally punched through a level that actually matters. And it is against its main counterpart, Bitcoin. On the daily time frame, the pair just closed a clean candle above the upper Bollinger Band for the first time since March — on the daily time frame too.
To set the record straight, that band is not just some imaginary line; it marks the edge of mean reversion between bull and bear, and XRP just ripped through it like it did not exist.
What is more interesting is how compact the base was. For weeks, XRP/BTC traded flat around 0.00002050 BTC, compressing just under key resistance. Now that zone is broken, and price is accelerating with structure still intact.
That is the kind of move that precedes one that is called absurd, in green candle terms.
The last time XRP/BTC reversed from this zone, it delivered a vertical candle stack that did not cool off until a full +60% rally. The current price is pushing back into the mid-band at 0.00002373 BTC. Above that, the 0.000029–0.00003 range opens like a pressure valve.
This is happening while Bitcoin is climbing. That is key. XRP is not winning because BTC is weak — it is gaining while BTC is strong, which means real relative strength is finally in play.
Bottom line: XRP looks like it is about to do what it has not done in a long time — go absolutely crazy versus Bitcoin. If this move continues to stack clean daily candles, the window for disbelief is going to close fast.
