XRP is now beginning to confirm relative strength versus both BTC and ETH following yesterday’s spot-level early expansion signal.
After an extended period of compression, both XRP/BTC and XRP/ETH have transitioned into early expansion on the Daily timeframe, with structure shifting in favor of continuation rather than mean reversion.
Key observations:
• Both ratios have now closed above key EMAs on the Daily, marking a structural shift rather than a single-candle anomaly.
• Second consecutive expansion candles suggest momentum persistence, not a one-off spike.
• ATR has turned upward, confirming volatility expansion at the ratio level.
• RSI has moved into expansion territory, supporting momentum continuation rather than exhaustion.
• OBV is stabilizing and beginning to slope higher, indicating improving participation beneath price.
At this stage, this move represents relative strength confirmation, not a mature trend. The important signal here is that XRP is no longer lagging — it is beginning to outperform broader crypto benchmarks.
Follow-through and structure maintenance on the Daily timeframe will be key in determining whether this evolves into sustained leadership.
For now, XRP has successfully transitioned from spot-level momentum ignition into early relative strength expansion, placing it firmly on watch.
