Bitcoin

Reversal

In 2024, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noreferrer">XRP</a> has underperformed compared to Bitcoin, experiencing a decline of approximately 2.5% year-to-date (YTD), while Bitcoin has surged by 60% over the same period. 
Consequently, the XRP/BTC exchange rate has fallen by 40% YTD. 
Despite this, there are emerging signs of recovery for XRP as the Bitcoin halving approaches, supported by several bullish indicators that may enhance its performance post-event. 
Historically, XRP has shown a pattern of excelling relative to Bitcoin around halving times. 
For example, following the third Bitcoin halving in May 2020, the XRP/BTC pair surged over 100%. 
A similar trend was observed around the second halving in July 2016 when the pair increased by 85%. 
These trends suggest a positive outlook for XRP after the forthcoming halving scheduled for April 19. 
The observed gains in the XRP/BTC pair are largely attributed to a decrease in Bitcoin’s market dominance post-halving, prompting traders to shift investments from Bitcoin to altcoins—a phenomenon often referred to as “altseason.” 
Altcoins like XRP can potentially offer substantial short-term gains owing to their smaller market caps and higher volatility compared to Bitcoin.

From a technical perspective, XRP/BTC has been following a falling wedge pattern since February, which is characterized by its price fluctuating within a space defined by two descending, converging trendlines. 
This pattern is generally seen as a bullish reversal indicator, suggesting an upward move once the price breaks above the upper trendline. 
For XRP, the breakout target for April/May is projected at 0.00001022 BTC, which represents an increase of about 16.75% from current levels. 
Looking further ahead, XRP’s weekly price target against Bitcoin by June 2024 is set to hit its 50-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 0.00001449 BTC. 
This target marks a significant 70% rise from its current price. Traders have consistently focused on this 50-week EMA as a bullish target following the previous Bitcoin halvings. 
Additionally, XRP is witnessing a notable accumulation phase among its largest investors. 
Since early March, there has been a marked increase in the number of entities holding over 1 million XRP tokens. 
From April, the number of holders possessing at least 100,000 XRP tokens has also started to rise, indicating a growing bullish sentiment among whales in anticipation of the Bitcoin halving.
