Xrp has triggered a golden cross on its monthly chart against bitcoin (xrp/btc), a signal that historically preceded an 875% surge for xrp. this could lead to substantial price appreciation in usd terms, with targets potentially reaching $14.96-$17.40 if bitcoin stays strong.
The analysis is based on a significant technical indicator (monthly golden cross) with a strong historical precedent. however, past performance does not guarantee future results, and market conditions or regulatory factors can influence outcomes, adding a degree of uncertainty to the magnitude of the projected surge.
The golden cross on the monthly xrp/btc chart, the first since 2017, combined with xrp holding key support, a bullish engulfing candle in december, and breaking above long-term moving averages, suggests strong upward momentum against bitcoin.
A golden cross on a monthly chart is a long-term indicator. while initial movement may be quicker, the full realization of a significant surge (like the 875% referenced) typically unfolds over several months, as seen in the 2017 event which took less than 120 days.
