After nearly eight years of being trapped under a long-term resistance line, XRP is set to make headlines again as it inches closer to a historic breakout against Bitcoin (BTC). With XRP Spot ETF approvals still pending, this breakout could signal the start of a significant shift in momentum and price trajectory. XRP To Break Major Resistance Against Bitcoin The XRP/BTC trading pair is rapidly approaching a critical technical breakout that could reshape its long-term value outlook. Crypto market expert Gordon noted in his chart analysis on X social media that XRP/BTC is close to breaching an 8-year descending resistance line—a move that could spark a major structural change in the market. Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Explodes To January ATH Levels, Will Price Follow Above $3? A breakout from this resistance could not only signal the end of nearly a decade of underperformance against Bitcoin but also serve as a potential precursor to a broader revaluation of XRP. Gordon’s biweekly chart illustrates XRP’s historical struggle to gain ground against Bitcoin, with repeated rejections from a strong descending line that has acted as a barrier since 2017. However, after experiencing long years of consolidation and accumulation, XRP/BTC now appears to be forming a large Symmetrical Triangle, with the current price hovering just below the upper boundary of the formation. Based on Gordon’s analysis, this technical compression suggests an imminent breakout, especially as price action builds momentum. What makes this potential breakout even more intriguing is that XRP’s rising value and current momentum have occurred without any significant bullish catalysts. The upward movement in XRP/BTC comes even before any official news concerning a potential XRP Spot ETF approval. The anticipation surrounding this ETF is already palpable, and a favorable decision could act as a powerful catalyst for continued upside. This scenario aligns with Gordon’s assessment that a breakout from the 8-year trendline could be a gateway to a generational wealth opportunity. 2025 XRP Spot ETF Approval Odds Hit 95% According to new data shared by market expert Steph is Crypto, XRP has emerged as one of the front-runners in the race for Spot ETF approval in the United States (US). The analyst has stated that the probability of an XRP ETF approval by the US SEC in 2025 has increased to a whopping 95%.

As part of his Cardano price prediction, crypto analyst CobraVanguard has revealed what needs to happen for ADA to never drop below the $0.8 level again. This comes amid the US SEC’s acknowledgment of Grayscale’s Cardano ETF filing, providing a bullish outlook for the crypto. How The Cardano Price May Never Drop Below $0.8 Again In a TradingView post, CobraVanguard noted that the Cardano price continues to move well within the wedge. The analyst claimed that if this wedge is broken, then market participants will no longer see ADA below $0.80. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that a break above could see Cardano reclaim the $1 psychological price level. Related Reading: Cardano Price Eyes Breakout To $6 After Bouncing From 43% Drawdown This bullish outlook for the Cardano price comes as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) acknowledged Grayscale’s Cardano ETF filing. An ETF is bullish for the ADA price as it will attract institutional investors and drive more inflows into the coin’s ecosystem, which could spark a rally to new highs. However, in the meantime, the Cardano price looks to be in bearish territory, as it has declined alongside the broader crypto market. ADA is currently below the $0.8 price level, which could represent a great buying opportunity, especially if the crypto eventually never sees this price level again, as CobraVanguard predicted. Regarding the short-term bearish outlook for the Cardano price, crypto analyst CryptoBusy also noted that ADA is barely clinging to its 0.5 Fibonacci support level. The analyst added that a breakdown below this Fib support could lead to a straight drop to the $0.618 price level. CryptoBusy suggested that this breakdown will likely happen as ADA is facing significant selling pressure. A Mega Bounce Is Coming For ADA In an X post, crypto analyst Sebastian told market participants to get ready for a mega bounce for the Cardano price after this market downtrend. In another post, he remarked that the worst time to sell is right now. He added that in a month, market participants will wish they had bought more. According to him, the market is a game of emotions and the more people capitulate, the higher prices will go eventually. Related Reading: Possible Deep Correction Could Push Cardano Price To $0.43, Here’s How Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently noted that the most critical support zone for the Cardano price is between $0.67 and $0.80. He remarked that as long as this level holds, ADA’s bull run remains intact. His accompanying chart showed that ADA could still reach its current all-time high (ATH) of $3.10 and possibly surpass this price level in this market cycle. At the time of writing, the Cardano price is trading at around $0.65, down over 12% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst EXCAVO has alluded to the potential Litecoin ETFs and how they spark a massive price surge for LTC. The analyst also revealed how high LTC could rally to at the end of this bull cycle thanks to these ETFs. How The Litecoin ETFs Could Drive LTC’s Price To $800 In a TradingView post, EXCAVO highlighted the Litecoin ETFs as one of the factors that could drive LTC’s price to $800 at the end of the cycle. He noted that Litecoin is just a fork of Bitcoin, and there is not much technology in it. However, he added that a decentralization and adoption issue is occurring, making LTC a suitable candidate for a potential ETF. Related Reading: Meet The New King Of Crypto Payments: Why Users Are Choosing Litecoin Over Bitcoin The analyst indicated that these Litecoin ETFs are one of the bullish fundamentals that could send LTC to this price target. Grayscale. Canary Capital and CoinShares have all applied with the SEC to offer a Litecoin ETF. According to Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart, there is a 90% chance of the US SEC approving these funds this year. As such, if approved this year, these Litecoin ETFs could easily send the LTC price to $800, as EXCAVO predicted. Meanwhile, from a technical analysis perspective, the analyst also stated that the crypto has a standard triangle with horizontal resistance on top. He added that such resistances tend to break out strongly. As such, the analyst is confident that LTC can reach $800 in this cycle thanks to its bullish fundamentals and technicals. EXCAVO also alluded to the LTC/BTC pair, noting that the fall has stopped and the bottom has been minimized. In line with this, he remarked that he expects an upward jump soon enough. LTC Is Headed To $180 In The Short Term In an X post, crypto analyst Dom opined that the Litecoin price is headed to $180. This came as he explained why he doesn’t believe LTC has topped in this cycle. Alluding to historical patterns, the analyst asserted that Litecoin’s chart is nothing like a topping formation.

The XRP market experienced a major rally in the last day following the SEC’s acknowledgment of Grayscale’s XRP ETF filling. According to data from CoinMarketCap, the prominent altcoin rose by 11% reaching a local peak of $2.81 before experiencing a significant retracement to $2.39. With XRP on the rise again, investors must note the asset must scale certain price barriers to validate its current bullish momentum. Related Reading: Ethereum Indicator Flashes Buy Signal On The Weekly Chart – Potential For A Rebound? XRP Must Move Past $3.40 To Retain Market Interest Popular market analyst Egrag Crypto has shared an intriguing analysis of the XRP market. In an X post on February 14, the crypto expert states that the third-largest cryptocurrency must achieve a strong close above $2.75 (marked in green) to sustain its current upward trend. Based on historical data, $2.75 has presented a significant resistance level. If XRP can close and hold above this price zone on its 4-hour trading chart, it would indicate that buyers are gaining control of the market following a month of major price loss. Thereafter, the altcoin must attain another price close above $2.94 (marked in yellow) which would suggest a higher bullish momentum with significant potential for new highs such as $3.22. For the XRP market, each confirmed close above these specified price levels strengthens the present bullish momentum. However, Egrag Crypto warns that all price movement below the current bull rally peak of $3.40 will remain merely “noise” in the long run. The analyst warns that XRP must break above this psychological price level to confirm a certain trend shift in the upward direction.

XRP Market Overview At press time, XRP trades at $2.73 following an aggregate 6.43% gain in the past 24 hours. The asset’s trading volume is up by 66.61% indicating a high level of interest from market participants. On its 7-day chart, XRP boasts 13.78% gains, reducing its monthly loss to around 8.39%. Amidst its recent price retracement, community sentiments in the XRP market remain highly bullish, especially with the advancement of a potential XRP ETF. By acknowledging Grayscale’s ETF application, the SEC is allowed an initial review period of 45 days – potentially extensible to 240 days – to approve or reject the proposed ETF. With the implementation of the pro-crypto agenda of Donald Trump, investors are highly positive about an approval suggesting a potential influx of institutional capital as seen with the Bitcoin Spot ETFs.
