XRP Price: XRP/BTC Value Plunges 61% From July Peak, What's Next?

Highlights

The XRP/BTC value has slumped nearly 61% from its July high in 2023.
The plunge is attributed to Bitcoin's rally and XRP's sluggish performance.
The XRP/BTC chart indicates a bullish run for XRP in 2024.

Ripple’s XRP is struggling to maintain an upward trajectory amid volatile sessions and efforts to rebound. Moreover, the XRP/BTC pair has plummeted massively in recent months. However, crypto analysts have expressed optimism around XRP price after evaluating the current market trends and XRP chart pattern.

XRP/BTC Pair Plummets 61% From July High

According to TradingView data, the XRP/BTC pair peaked at 0.00002741 in July 2023. However, thereafter a downtrend ensued as Bitcoin (BTC) rallied significantly while the XRP price took small steps toward an upward trend. At press time, the XRP/BTC pair was trading at 0.00001071 on February 19, 2024.

This implies a solid 61% drop from the high attained in mid-2023. While some may perceive it as an unfavorable development, short-term traders or long-term investors can leverage this opportunity for a profitable entry point in XRP. Hence, analysts have suggested that buying the dip could be profitable.

On the other hand, analysts have also hinted at an impending bull run for XRP. Dark Defender, a crypto analyst on X, posted an analysis based on the weekly chart of the XRP/BTC pair. He wrote, “RSI for the XRP/BTC pair in the weekly time frame stands in the same place as it did before the 2017 & 2021 XRP Bull Runs.” Moreover, he noted that the 2024 bull run for XRP is just knocking the doors.
