XRP, one of the most talked-about altcoins in crypto history, may finally be catching the attention of some seasoned traders, even those who’ve never touched it before. Prominent crypto analyst VirtualBacon, just shared that he might finally buy XRP, but only if a few key signs play out.
So, what’s making him consider XRP now, after all these years?
Watching the XRP/BTC Ratio
VirtualBacon isn’t basing his decision on XRP’s dollar price. Instead, he’s watching how it performs against Bitcoin (XRP/BTC). Further he points out that the XRP/BTC chart has been showing weakness since 2017, forming a long downtrend.
But recently, something interesting has developed, the chart is showing signs of a rounded top with strong support at 0.000022 BTC.
If this level breaks and XRP drops another 20–23%, he believes it will enter the “value zone,” between 0.000017 and 0.000019 BTC.
That’s where he plans to buy, around the $1.80 price level.
VirtualBacon’s Trade Plan
According to VirtualBacon, this is the cleanest XRP setup he’s seen in two years. His plan looks like this:
- Wait for XRP/BTC to drop 20–22%
- Enter around the $1.80 price zone
- Watch for a breakout in the BTC ratio
- Likely timeframe: next 3 to 6 months
He’s not rushing in. Instead, he’s preparing in advance, ready to act when the signal is clear.
Why XRP Could Revive Other Coin
This trade isn’t only about making gains. VirtualBacon believes a breakout for XRP could revive other older coins that have been forgotten in recent years like Cardano, Stellar, HBAR, Algorand, and XDC.
Unlike Ethereum and Solana, which have gained strong reputations with institutions and retail respectively, XRP has always stood out for one reason, mass recognition.
With its legal battle nearly over, ETF talks underway, and market positioning improving, XRP may be setting up for more than just a pump, it could be staging a comeback.
