A new phase appears to be emerging for XRP following months of underperformance against Ethereum. An unusual weekly bullish divergence has appeared on the XRP/ETH chart — a signal not seen since June 2024. This pattern previously preceded a strong XRP rally, and the current technical setup may be establishing conditions for another upward move.
The chart indicates that while XRP's price remained under pressure through much of 2025, momentum indicators are shifting upward, suggesting a possible change in relative strength between these two assets.
Chart Analysis: RSI Divergence Points to Reversal Potential
The weekly XRP/ETH chart from Binance displays a textbook bullish divergence between price movement and the Relative Strength Index — a condition that frequently precedes trend shifts. Analysis by Charting Guy highlights how XRP formed lower lows in price around September–October 2025, while the RSI created higher lows, indicating weakening downside momentum.
This same technical pattern last surfaced in June 2024 and triggered a sharp upward move in XRP against ETH over subsequent months. The RSI has rebounded after an earlier rejection near the 50 zone, now crossing above its signal line and displaying renewed upside momentum. The pair currently trades near 0.000063, consolidating after months of decline, which often suggests accumulation before potential expansion toward higher price ranges. This combination of rising RSI alongside stabilizing price action strengthens the argument for an early-stage reversal favoring XRP.
Market Context: Why XRP May Strengthen Against ETH
The emerging divergence arrives amid broader shifts in market structure and sentiment. As traders rebalance portfolios, previously lagging assets like XRP often outperform during early phases of new market cycles. Ethereum's slower price growth has created space for XRP to regain comparative ground. Multi-month RSI divergences on weekly charts have historically marked periods of trend reversal in cross-asset pairs. These combined technical and behavioral factors suggest the XRP/ETH pair may enter a multi-month recovery phase if buying activity continues.
Price Levels to Monitor
While momentum currently favors XRP, several price levels will determine whether the trend shift solidifies: first resistance around 0.000075 coincides with the RSI's prior peak and horizontal rejection zones; primary upside target between 0.00010 and 0.00012 marks where XRP last showed relative dominance over ETH; critical support with a sustained drop below 0.000060 would weaken the bullish case and risk a return to consolidation. A confirmed weekly RSI close above 50 would further validate the reversal scenario.
