One market analyst has issued a blunt warning to the XRP community, arguing that the token has significantly underperformed Bitcoin despite months of optimism from supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Bitcoin surged from roughly $60,000 to $80,000 over the past three months, XRP has largely traded sideways, fueling growing concerns about its relative weakness against the market leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XRP Has Continued Losing Strength Against Bitcoin Since 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK based technical analyst ChartNerd shared his concerns in a recent post, stating that the gap between XRP community expectations and the asset\u2019s actual market performance has become increasingly difficult to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the analyst, XRP has consistently underperformed Bitcoin since 2017, with little evidence of a major reversal in trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pointed out that while Bitcoin rallied strongly over recent months, the XRP to BTC trading pair lost its 20 period exponential moving average, a technical indicator commonly used to track medium term momentum between assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The breakdown pushes the XRP\/BTC pair closer to the lower end of its long term range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, that area has occasionally preceded major periods of XRP outperformance against Bitcoin, including a sharp rally seen in November 2024. However, ChartNerd stressed that the current setup does not yet confirm a bullish reversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, he believes the breakdown itself is currently the dominant signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another update published on May 21, the analyst revealed that the XRP\/BTC pair had declined for 15 consecutive weeks, helping explain why XRP\u2019s USD price has remained mostly stagnant during the same timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, he expects XRP will likely continue underperforming Bitcoin through much of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short Term Outlook Remains Weak<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, XRP was trading around $1.36, moving within a narrow daily range between $1.34 and $1.37.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ChartNerd identified the $1.30 level as a key support zone, while suggesting that the $1.40 area could act as significant resistance if XRP attempts a recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also outlined a broader bearish scenario in which XRP could eventually fall toward the $0.90 to $0.70 range if overall market conditions weaken further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the lower boundary of XRP\u2019s two week regression band is currently positioned near $1.00, which may serve as another important level to monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Bitcoin has stabilized near $77,000 after briefly dropping below $75,000 last week. The cryptocurrency regained momentum following reports of progress in US and Iran peace negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin dominance across the crypto market has also remained above 58%, a factor that continues to pressure most altcoins, including XRP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Bitcoin absorbs the majority of market capital flows, altcoins typically struggle to keep pace, contributing to XRP\u2019s ongoing relative weakness.#cryptp#cryptonews https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
