Bitcoin’s recent surge above has reignited enthusiasm across the crypto market, lifting not just the leading cryptocurrency but also signaling a broader altcoin revival.
As gold hits new record highs, Bitcoin continues to strengthen its narrative as a digital safe-haven asset—and altcoins like XRP are starting to benefit.
According to popular crypto analyst DonAlt, XRP remains one of the most compelling altcoin charts at the moment. The analyst, known for correctly predicting XRP’s rally last year, recently pointed to favorable technical indicators that suggest the asset may be poised for another breakout.
This marks the first sustained bullish structure across the crypto market since November 2024, following months of consolidation and decline. Analysts note that XRP is now drawing renewed interest from investors as momentum returns to the altcoin space.
Still one of the most interesting altcoin charts out there
