Chart data indicates that XRP may currently be setting up to record a 600% increase against Bitcoin, which could massively impact its price in dollar terms.
The broader crypto market recently recorded a fifth consecutive monthly loss amid a 13.41% decline in February 2026. This marked the largest monthly drop since October 2025, impacting Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins such as XRP.
While XRP saw mildly steeper declines than Bitcoin in February, dropping by a modest 1.58% compared to the crypto firstborn, chart data indicates that the altcoin may be looking to engineer a 600% spike against Bitcoin, potentially pushing its price above $10.
Key Points
- With the broader crypto market dropping 13.41% in February, XRP saw mildly steeper declines than Bitcoin, falling 1.58% against the crypto leader.
- This adds to a sustained downtrend for the XRP/BTC pair that has lingered since December 2025, as Bitcoin shows more resilience than XRP.
- Chart data indicates that the ongoing trend, which has been bearish for XRP, could be setting up for a bullish push against Bitcoin.
- Analysts project a possible 600% increase for the XRP/BTC pair, a development that could push XRP’s price above $10.
XRP Struggles Against Bitcoin
Notably, market analyst Javon Marks has been at the forefront of this projection, insisting that XRP could soon flip the trend against Bitcoin for good. For context, XRP has continued to lose ground against Bitcoin since dropping from its all-time high of $3.66 in July 2025.
Specifically, at the $3.66 peak, the XRP/BTC pair stood at 0.00003070. It has since dropped to the current figure of 0.00002040, representing a massive 33.5% decline. This indicates that while Bitcoin and XRP have witnessed price declines on the back of the broader market downturn, XRP has recorded steeper drops.
Descending Trendline Breakout and Retest
Interestingly, amid XRP’s price weakness compared to Bitcoin, data from Marks’ chart indicates that XRP currently trades above a multi-year descending trendline against Bitcoin on the 2-week chart.
This trendline started forming after the XRP/BTC pair dropped from the all-time high of 0.0002454 in May 2017. Since then, the trendline has held through, presenting a roadblock for any attempt from XRP to break out against Bitcoin. These failed attempts emerged in January 2018, November 2020, and July 2023.
However, when XRP made another attempt in November 2024, a successful breakout occurred, as the XRP price spiked from 0.00000725 BTC to a high of 0.00003419 BTC by January 2025, aligning with the $3.4 value. XRP dropped from this level to 0.00001928 BTC before recovering to 0.00003070 BTC in July 2025 and then dropping to the current price.
These struggles represent part of the effort to retest the descending trendline breakout. Interestingly, XRP crashed to 0.00000720 BTC on Binance during the 10/10 market collapse, effectively retesting the trendline, and then immediately recovered. If this marked a successful retest, Marks believes an upward push may be imminent.
Potential XRP Surge Against Bitcoin
It is against this backdrop that the analyst has now predicted a possible 600% rally for the XRP/BTC pair. His chart suggests the pair could soar to an eight-year peak of 0.0001579. At Bitcoin’s current price of $66,227, this would translate to a $10.4 value for XRP.
