Bitcoin Decouples with XRP, BNB But Correlates With Dogecoin and Cardano

In the last two months, Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency, has been increasingly decoupling from XRP, the native currency of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), and BNB, the coin priming the broader Binance ecosystem. While this pans out, Dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano (ADA) remain mostly correlated with Bitcoin. XRP, BNB Decoupling From Bitcoin While rising de-correlation suggests that the market is maturing and becoming more sophisticated, secondary factors could make some of the top altcoins decouple and chart their courses away from the tight grasp of Bitcoin. Related Reading: XRP Community And Cardano Founder Engage In Heated Clash Sharing data from Kaiko, a blockchain analytics firm, @cryptobusy on X notes that the correlation between Bitcoin, XRP, and BNB has been contracting in the last two months. Meanwhile, BTC, Dogecoin, and Cardano prices have been moving in sync despite fundamental factors of each project impacting price action over this period. The drop in correlation indicates that altcoins are increasingly gaining more market share from Bitcoin. This drop in Bitcoin dominance happens especially whenever certain altcoins move independently and are not influenced by how Bitcoin trends. In most cases, like it has been the case in Q4 2023, a spike in Bitcoin prices triggers altcoin demand, lifting them as a result. Besides Cardano and Dogecoin, for instance, Solana (SOL) and Tron (TRX) are two altcoins that have been rallying and tracking Bitcoin. Additionally, the drop in correlation could mean the altcoin scene is maturing, and more investors are keen on picking out projects that offer more utility, not just BTC proxies. With more investors, altcoins tend to be more liquid, drawing even more capital. BNB, XRP, BTC Impacted By Fundamental Factors Even so, there could be more that explains the decoupling, especially with BNB and XRP. Seismic fundamental events have impacted BTC, XRP, and BNB ecosystems in the last two months. Related Reading: A Golden Opportunity For Ethereum? 600% Buy Signal Returns The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for instance, is likely to approve multiple spot Bitcoin ETFs filed by several heavyweights, including BlackRock and Fidelity, in the coming weeks. Hopes of the regulator authorizing these derivatives tracking spot BTC prices have catalyzed demand, lifting the coin to new 2023 highs. Meanwhile, a United States court ruled in favor of XRP being a utility when sold to retailers. The case initially forced prices higher, but the coin tracked lower throughout late Q3 2023 and 2024, only steadying as BTC rallied. At the same time, BNB was negatively impacted by Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, resigning in November 2023. The Department of Justice also fined Binance with a $4.3 billion penalty as a settlement. Feature image from Canva, chart from TradingView

XRP Price Prediction: Analyst Identifies 3 Key Factors That Will Trigger Parabolic Move

The XRP price keeps being projected to enjoy a massive rally soon enough. Many have continued to speculate when this might happen. A crypto analyst has some answers, as he has highlighted three key indicators that could trigger this rally. Three Determinants For A “Parabolic Move” In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) platform, crypto analyst JD noted that XRP’s monthly was coming. He went on to state three things that “need” to happen if XRP is to see a massive rally. The first factor he highlighted was the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (SRSI). He stated that there has to be a bullish cross on the SRSI. Related Reading: MasterCard Coming To XRP? Prominent Developer Teases Major Upgrade The SRSI is a technical indicator that is generally used to forecast market trends. It measures the strengths and weaknesses of the relative strength indicator (RSI). It is from this RSI it also derives its value from. Source: X Still emphasizing the SRSI, JD stated that the second factor is that both SRSI lines must cross above 80. This level refers to an overbought condition in the XRP market. As such, it is unclear why JD considers it bullish, considering that traders usually see an overbought condition as a sell signal with an impending correction in mind. XRP Price To Breakout In 2025 For the third factor, JD alluded to an 8-year trendline break. In the accompanying chart that he shared, one could see that he was projecting XRP to break out in 2025 following 8 years of consolidation. In the chart, he also highlighted how XRP broke out in 2017 after a 4-year consolidation. Some analysts seem to be betting on XRP, enjoying a similar rally to the one that happened back in 2017. The crypto token is known to have seen a 61,000% gain in 280 days and crypto analyst CryptoInsightUK recently shared his thoughts on that happening. Without directly stating if a repeat could happen, he outlined several factors that put XRP in a better position than then. Related Reading: Institutional Investors Pour $346 Million Into Crypto – Here Are The Winners Another crypto analyst who has referred to the 2017 period in his projection is Egrag Crypto. He recently mentioned that $27 is a “plausible target” for XRP’s price with the 2017 surge in mind. He didn’t, however, mention when exactly XRP could attain such heights. More recently, Egrag stated that XRP is on the “brink of a bullish cross.” Many analysts continue to give their opinion on what price level XRP could hit, with some stating that XRP could rise to as high as $10,000. It remains to be seen how much of these bullish projections will be actualized. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.61, up over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin Eyes New Highs As Bloomberg Analyst Reiterates 90% Chance Of January ETF Approval

Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, is currently in an upward accumulation phase, inching closer to surpassing its current yearly high of $38,390. This upward trend is further fueled by the anticipation surrounding the approval of Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Bitcoin ETF Approval By January 10 In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Erich Balchunas, a Bloomberg ETF expert, shared his perspective on the probability of Bitcoin ETF approval. Balchunas maintains a 90% chance of SEC approval by January 10, which has remained consistent for months. Related Reading: A Golden Opportunity For Ethereum? 600% Buy Signal Returns Balchunas highlights that while debates over specific dates and timelines persist, the SEC and issuers are diligently working behind the scenes to make ETFs ready for this cycle, defying earlier skepticism. Balchunas stated: People asking me if we changed odds. No, we still holding line at 90% odds of approval by Jan 10 (aka this cycle), the same odds we’ve had for months (before it was cool/safe). What we watching for now: more amended/final filings to roll in and clarity on in-kind vs cash creates As predicted by many analysts, Bitcoin is poised for a potential breakout in the upcoming months, both before and after these investment products’ anticipated approval. As reported by NewsBTC, Bitcoin could surge to as high as $50,000 even before the halving event forecasted for April. In this context, Bitcoin must maintain its position above the key support level of $35,000. This mark serves as a threshold for future gains, both preceding and succeeding the approval of spot ETFs. Upholding this support level will be instrumental in determining Bitcoin’s prospects for continued growth and market performance. Next Resistance Level Holds Key To Surpassing All-Time High Renowned crypto analyst Crypto Con has shed light on the remarkable strength of the current Bitcoin cycle, drawing comparisons to the previous from 2019 to 2022. By examining key resistance levels and price movements, Crypto Con emphasizes the positive outlook for Bitcoin’s price trajectory and suggests that the current cycle is poised for success. Crypto Con highlights the prolonged weakness observed during the 2019-2022 Bitcoin cycle, characterized by Bitcoin’s struggle to surpass the initial Wave Trend resistance over a year. Related Reading: XRP Community And Cardano Founder Engage In Heated Clash In contrast, the current cycle has demonstrated impressive resilience, effortlessly breaking through this resistance level. Despite the substantial rise in Bitcoin’s price, Crypto Con points out that the cryptocurrency has yet to reach the next resistance level, called green zone 2, with a price target of $40,000. In a typical cycle, this milestone does not indicate the end of price action but rather marks the beginning of a more significant upward trajectory. Crypto Con further suggests that subsequent resistance levels, indicated by the color blue in the chart above, can drive Bitcoin’s price even higher, surpassing its previous all-time high. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $37,700, down 0.7% over the past 24 hours, and it remains to be seen if a consolidation above $38,000 will occur.
