The recent recovery staged by Ripple’s cross-border token has brought several long-term technical setups back into focus, but one of the more unusual comparisons does not involve BTC, another cryptocurrency, or even the greenback.<\/p>\n

Instead, EGRAG CRYPTO has focused on XRP’s performance against gold, arguing that the pair could be approaching a stage where the former begins gaining ground relative to the precious metal.<\/p>\n

Can XRP Beat Gold?<\/h2>\n

Notably, the idea is not that XRP is backed by gold or directly linked to it, but that their relative performance may be reaching an important point on the analyst’s long-term chart. The analyst has previously used the XRP\/gold comparison to identify periods in which the token dramatically accelerated against the bullion.<\/p>\n

His latest chart points again to the possibility that the cryptocurrency could eventually begin appreciating faster than gold if the historical structure repeats. Such a development would represent a substantial shift in relative performance, as gold has enjoyed a strong period with investors seeking protection from fiscal concerns, geopolitical uncertainty, and currency debasement.<\/p>\n

XRP, on the other hand, remains far below its 2025 all-time high despite recovering from the sharp declines to $1.00 seen in August.<\/p>\n

This narrative is therefore essentially a relative-value argument: XRP does not necessarily need gold to fall, as it could appreciate at a faster rate for the pair to turn decisively higher. However, EGRAG remains a believer that XRP will indeed explode higher while the precious metal will fall.<\/p>\n

#XRP<\/a>\/#XAU<\/a> – SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE US:<\/p>\n

One of them will deliver the move:
\n\"\ud83e\udd47\" GOLD dumps \u2192 XRP\/XAU explodes higher
\n\"\ud83d\ude80\" XRP pumps \u2192 XRP\/XAU explodes higher
\n\"\ud83d\udca5\"But my thesis? BOTH happen.<\/p>\n

\"\ud83d\udcd2\"Gold retraces while #XRP<\/a> accelerates , a powerful combination for this ratio.<\/p>\n

What About USD?<\/h2>\n

In a separate analysis, EGRAG outlined<\/a> a much more speculative long-term roadmap for the token, with $1.75 serving as an important threshold in that scenario. Holding above that area could keep open a broader expansion toward major targets of $5-$8 or even $13 in an extreme development.<\/p>\n

He also mentioned $365 as a potential target for XRP, but that remains a hypothetical chart projection and, for that matter, in the far-fetched realm as of now.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, fellow analyst ChartNerd identified something similar on XRP’s chart. In another longer-time-framed analysis, he noted<\/a> that the asset is forming a multi-year cup-and-handle pattern based on Fib targets and outlined some major targets that coincide with those set by EGRAG at $8 and $13.<\/p>\n

Something that can support the bullish thesis from above is whales’ behavior. These large market participants have been scooping<\/a> tokens en masse lately, including a major $720 million accumulation completed over the past several days.<\/p>\n
