Gold’s latest price tremor just triggered a crypto alarm bell. The last time the precious metal twitched this way, XRP exploded by over 1,000%—and traders are circling like vultures.
Here’s the brutal math: When gold’s volatility spikes while yields flatline, historically, it’s been a neon sign for altseason. XRP’s 2017 moonshot coincided with this exact setup. Now? The charts are printing déjà vu.
Market vets know the drill—gold’s moves often telegraph liquidity shifts before traditional finance ’experts’ finish their third coffee. This time, with central banks playing chicken with inflation, the crypto leverage could be even nastier.
Warning: Past performance guarantees nothing except hedge fund managers will take credit if it happens again. But with XRP currently trading like a sleepy midcap, the risk-reward calculus just got spicy.

During gold’s upsurge, the crypto
market saw bearish price action, and this also impacted XRP. However, as gold started observing a correction by August 2020, XRP and the rest of the market saw a parabolic uptick. Specifically, XRP rose from $0.1751 to a high of $1.96 in April 2021, representing a 1,019% increase.
Another indicator suggesting a repetition of the previous cycle’s run is the monthly gold RSI. Notably, during gold’s uptrend from 2018 to 2020, its RSI rose from 40 to an overvalued mark of 84, indicating the uptrend would reverse. Currently, gold’s RSI has spiked from 50 to 85.
Could XRP Record Another 1,000+ Uptick?
Now that gold is witnessing another pullback from its extensive rally, crypto is again gaining strength, and XRP might benefit from this rotation of capital. The altcoin appears to be late to the party, with its price action failing to reflect the recovery in the broader market.
However, currently trading for $2.18, XRP is still in a position of strength for its next upsurge. Specifically, if the asset replicates the 2020/2021 cycle’s 1,000+ upsurge, such a rally would push its price to the $24 mark.

Interestingly,
Bitcoin advocate Davinci Jeremie, who has persistently criticized XRP, believes the altcoin could hit $24 this year. Meanwhile, market analysts such as EGRAG expect a rally to $27. It bears mentioning that XRP’s 1,000% rise in 2021 came despite the SEC’s case. With the lawsuit potentially ending, the asset could see more substantial gains this time.
