According to crypto analyst Dr. Cat, XRP currently has the strongest chart in the entire cryptocurrency market. He explains that XRP’s weekly chart is showing a strong bullish (upward) trend using technical analysis tools like the Ichimoku Cloud.
In technical terms, XRP is trading above a key support level called the Kijun-Sen. The Tenkan-Sen, another trend line, is also above both the price and the Kijun-Sen. This setup points to a strong buying trend. XRP has been staying above this level for several weeks without dropping below it.
The Ichimoku Cloud, which helps predict future price movements, also looks positive for XRP. One of the cloud’s key components, the Senkō Span A, is rising. Another part, the Senkō Span B, is flat. This shows that XRP has continued momentum and could rise even more.
In contrast, Bitcoin’s chart looks weaker. While Bitcoin is still trading above its cloud, it has fallen below the Kijun-Sen in the past couple of weeks. Also, a bearish crossover has occurred, where the Tenkan-Sen has moved below the Kijun-Sen, which often signals short-term weakness.
Dr. Cat explained that many other cryptocurrencies — including Ethereum — are already in a bearish trend. Bitcoin is trying to recover, but XRP has held strong and continues to lead. Some traders think XRP might fall to $0.80 before making new highs, but others believe a new record may happen soon. According to Dr. Cat, the picture should be clearer by the end of May.
Dr. Cat still believes XRP could reach $4.50 in the near future. But this depends on XRP bulls (buyers) continuing to hold control.
More support for XRP’s recent strength comes from analyst Dom, who shared that XRP has performed better than Ethereum for five months in a row — now into the sixth. This has never happened before. Since November 2024, XRP has consistently outpaced ETH in monthly returns.
Here’s a quick summary of XRP’s monthly outperformance over Ethereum:
- +160.4% in November 2024
- +18.5% in December
- +47.3% in January
- +4.3% in February
- +19.6% in March
- +14.3% so far in April 2025
This performance shows a steady shift of investment towards XRP that hasn’t been seen in past market cycles.
Even though it’s unclear if this strength will lead to a new price record, XRP’s chart shows clear signs of continued momentum. With strong technical signals and steady investor interest, XRP remains in a leading position in the crypto market.
At the time of this update, XRP is trading at $2.09.
