The digital asset XRP has remained central to cryptocurrency discussions, with recent performance suggesting the potential for a major breakout.
An analysis has been shared by Amonyx (@amonbuy), a prominent analyst on X, highlighting XRP’s unique historical behavior and its potential for substantial gains compared to Bitcoin in the current market cycle.
XRP’s Historical Parity With Bitcoin
Charts presented by Amonyx reveal that XRP has consistently kept pace with Bitcoin, often surpassing it during key phases of price cycles. The analysis highlights a distinct pattern in XRP’s movements. While Bitcoin experiences steady growth phases, XRP consolidates before undergoing significant upward trends that match or exceed Bitcoin’s gains.
This pattern has been further underscored by observations from another analyst, who noted that 1 BTC purchases approximately the same amount of XRP today as it did in 2014. This consistency emphasizes XRP’s ability to maintain parity with Bitcoin, even as the broader cryptocurrency market evolves.
Recent Performance of XRP
Recent trends align with XRP’s historical behavior. For the first time since 2018, XRP has surpassed $2, reaching a high of $2.86. This recovery has renewed optimism among investors. During the same period, Bitcoin has achieved an all-time high of $108,268.45 after crossing the $100,000 milestone.

Bitcoin’s climb began earlier in the year, with new highs being reached in March and subsequent breaches of those levels until the $100,000 mark was crossed. XRP, however, lagged in momentum until a dramatic price surge occurred in November.
Predictions for XRP’s Next Move
XRP’s performance in the current cycle has silenced critics and positioned it as one of the best-performing assets, outpacing Bitcoin according to Amonyx’s analysis. At present, XRP is trading at $2.17, and Amonyx predicts that the ongoing rally could push it beyond $20.
These developments coincide with increasing attention on XRP’s utility and potential to challenge Bitcoin’s dominance. Some analysts have suggested that XRP may rival or even exceed Bitcoin’s market capitalization in this cycle.
Ben “Bitboy” Armstrong has pointed out how XRP could surpass Ethereum to become the second-largest cryptocurrency. Reaching $20, as forecasted by Amonyx, would support this achievement.
