XRP bulls itching for action might need to cool their heels—for now. A leading crypto strategist just dropped his non-negotiable buy trigger, and the asset hasn’t hit it yet.
The Waiting Game
No moon math, no hopium—just a cold, hard technical level that could flip the script. The analyst’s track record? Solid enough to make traders sit up, but vague enough to keep everyone guessing (classic crypto).
Bankers’ Favorite Token Plays Hard to Get
While institutions keep eyeing Ripple’s darling for cross-border deals, retail traders are stuck watching paint dry. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs eat all the headlines—and the inflows.
Patience or recklessness? The chart will decide. And if history’s any guide, the signal will hit when least expect it—probably during a bathroom break.
XRP BTC 22 RetracementXRP/BTC 22% Retracement
First, the XRP/BTC ratio chart will retrace 22% if
Bitcoin stays steadily above $100,000 and XRP corrects 22% against the dollar. In this scenario, Liu indicates that XRP would likely recede further to $1.85, potentially triggering another retest of the crucial $2 support level.
XRP USD 22 RetracementXRP/USD 22% Retracement
Interestingly, the analyst emphasized XRP’s earlier retest of the demand zone, which is becoming a fortress. The XRPL native token has tested the liquidity-packed level seven times since December and has rebounded extensively at each revisit. Remarkably, he stressed that the potential drop to $1.85 would be XRP’s lowest USD target for this bull market.
Second Scenario for 22% XRP/BTC Retracement
Meanwhile, the prominent commentator shared another way XRP’s ratio to
bitcoin could drop by 22%. This scenario would see XRP continue to consolidate around its current price, while Bitcoin puts in another 22% rally to a new all-time high.

Liu noted that this would not just put XRP in a strong value range but also raise doubts among holders over the viability of their bag pumping. He mentioned that market users took a similar position against Solana and
ethereum a few months back, only for the assets to stun them with face-melting rallies.
According to the analyst, he would only then buy and hold XRP against Bitcoin for its next explosive run. However, he did not specifically mention XRP’s target for its second round of price explosion.
Bullish Targets for XRP
Nonetheless, several bullish targets exist for XRP, an asset that market expert Peter Brandt described as “everyone’s favorite.” For context, prominent XRP community researcher SMQKE predicted that XRP would dethrone altcoin leader Ethereum this year, an event that would see the token rally to at least $6.
Moreover, expert Egrag Crypto is growing increasingly confident that XRP will rally to $13 or $22. He cited a bullish engulfing on XRP’s yearly chart and expects a strong 13th candle performance for the asset.
