Renowned crypto trader KALEO has suggested that the XRP/BTC ratio is set for a significant shift.
The trader noted that XRP’s daily chart is breaking past a key resistance level established during last year’s Ripple victory rally. Over the past 24 hours, XRP has seen a 7% increase, outpacing the broader crypto market.
Today, the XRP/BTC ratio reached 0.0000099 BTC, its highest point since March, with nearly a 60% gain in under two months.
According to U.Today, XRP’s Bollinger bands have recently tightened to their narrowest range ever, which might indicate a significant price movement.
