In its 12-year history, the XRP price has formed several trends, some bullish and some bearish. Each of these has led to its own unique trend that appears to have continued over time, leading investors to turn to historical performance as a possible way to predict where the XRP price could go next. Recently, another historical trend emerged when an analyst charted the altcoin’s performance against that of Bitcoin how it has responded in the past.
XRP breakout again: Bitcoin always leads to a triple-digit rally
In 2024, crypto analyst Javon Marks did just that marked that the XRP price had broken out against Bitcoin. This was important because the XRP price breakout against the leading cryptocurrency had always led to a big rally, and Marks expected this to repeat itself.

True to form, the XRP price started to rise sharply after the breakout, and although the analyst had previously predicted a 243% increase, the resulting rally was much better. By the time the XRP price reached its cycle peak by 2025 it had increased by more than 500%. This confirmed that the trend was strong and following the same trajectory.
Fast forward to 2026, and the crypto analyst has once again pointed out the same trend. The only difference is that the trend seems to be much stronger this time. XRP is already breaking out against Bitcoin, but the current breakout is the result of an even bigger setup, suggesting that the outcome of this would be even more significant.
If the current trend against Bitcoin plays out as it has in the past, Javon Marks predicts another triple-digit rally. This would be even more significant than the previous 500% rally, where the crypto analyst predicted that the XRP price could rise by 635%.
Such a rise would push the XRP price above the $10 level, in line with other crypto analysts’ predictions for the cryptocurrency. At the same time, this would result in XRP losing zero against Bitcoin, from 0.00002 BTC to over 0.00014 BTC.

For now, the focus remains on the $1.5 level, where that appears to be significant resistance building for the cryptocurrency. Breaking this resistance with momentum would likely set the altco on the path to the next rally.
