- VirtualBacon is eyeing XRP for the first time in years, watching the XRP/BTC chart instead of its dollar price—he plans to buy around the $1.80 mark if it dips into his identified “value zone.”
- His strategy is cautious and patient, aiming for a 20–22% drop before entry and expecting a potential breakout within 3 to 6 months.
- A breakout in XRP could spark a broader altcoin revival, possibly reigniting interest in forgotten tokens like Cardano, Stellar, HBAR, and Algorand—especially as XRP’s legal issues settle and ETF buzz builds.
XRP, yeah that XRP—the coin everyone’s either obsessed with or sworn off—is back on the radar. And guess what? Even some traders who’ve stayed far away for years are starting to take a second look. One of them? Crypto analyst VirtualBacon. He recently said he’s “almost ready” to buy XRP. Key word: almost.
So why now? And what’s the catch?
BTC Ratio Over Price Charts
VirtualBacon isn’t watching XRP’s price in dollars like most folks. Instead, he’s eyeing the XRP/BTC chart—and it’s got his attention for the first time in, well, years. According to him, that chart’s been in a pretty ugly downtrend since way back in 2017. But lately? It’s starting to round off at the bottom.
Specifically, the 0.000022 BTC level is holding as solid support. But if that breaks, and XRP slides another 20–23%, that’s when things get spicy.
That zone—between 0.000017 and 0.000019 BTC—is what he calls the “value zone.” Around that point, XRP would be sitting near the $1.80 price mark. And that’s where he plans to pounce.
The Playbook: Clean, Simple, Patient
According to VirtualBacon, this is hands down the cleanest XRP setup he’s seen in at least two years. Here’s how he’s playing it:
- Step one: Wait for XRP/BTC to drop another 20–22%
- Step two: Start accumulating around $1.80
- Step three: Look for signs of a breakout on the BTC ratio chart
- Timeline? Maybe within the next 3 to 6 months
No FOMO here—just planning ahead and waiting for the right moment.
Why This Could Be Bigger Than Just XRP
Here’s the interesting part. This trade isn’t just about XRP mooning. VirtualBacon thinks if XRP actually makes a strong comeback, it could breathe life into a bunch of other coins that have been dead in the water for ages. Think Cardano, Stellar, HBAR, Algorand, even XDC.
See, while Ethereum and Solana are winning the popularity contest among institutions and younger retail traders, XRP has always had one thing going for it: everybody knows the name. And with the SEC case almost out of the way, ETF rumors in the air, and a bit more stability showing up on charts, XRP’s setting the stage.
Not just for a run… maybe even a comeback tour.
