The recent recovery staged by Ripple\u2019s cross-border token has brought several long-term technical setups back into focus, but one of the more unusual comparisons does not involve BTC, another cryptocurrency, or even the greenback.<\/p>\n
Instead, EGRAG CRYPTO has focused on XRP\u2019s performance against gold, arguing that the pair could be approaching a stage where the former begins gaining ground relative to the precious metal.<\/p>\n
Notably, the idea is not that XRP is backed by gold or directly linked to it, but that their relative performance may be reaching an important point on the analyst\u2019s long-term chart. The analyst has previously used the XRP\/gold comparison to identify periods in which the token dramatically accelerated against the bullion.<\/p>\n
His latest chart points again to the possibility that the cryptocurrency could eventually begin appreciating faster than gold if the historical structure repeats. Such a development would represent a substantial shift in relative performance, as gold has enjoyed a strong period with investors seeking protection from fiscal concerns, geopolitical uncertainty, and currency debasement.<\/p>\n
XRP, on the other hand, remains far below its 2025 all-time high despite recovering from the sharp declines to $1.00 seen in August.<\/p>\n
This narrative is therefore essentially a relative-value argument: XRP does not necessarily need gold to fall, as it could appreciate at a faster rate for the pair to turn decisively higher. However, EGRAG remains a believer that XRP will indeed explode higher while the precious metal will fall.<\/p>\n
#XRP<\/a>\/#XAU<\/a> \u2013 SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE US:<\/p>\n One of them will deliver the move: Gold retraces while #XRP<\/a> accelerates , a powerful combination for this ratio.<\/p>\n Fib\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/byiAaVQocc<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) September 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n In a separate analysis, EGRAG outlined<\/a> a much more speculative long-term roadmap for the token, with $1.75 serving as an important threshold in that scenario. Holding above that area could keep open a broader expansion toward major targets of $5-$8 or even $13 in an extreme development.<\/p>\n He also mentioned $365 as a potential target for XRP, but that remains a hypothetical chart projection and, for that matter, in the far-fetched realm as of now.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, fellow analyst ChartNerd identified something similar on XRP\u2019s chart. In another longer-time-framed analysis, he noted<\/a> that the asset is forming a multi-year cup-and-handle pattern based on Fib targets and outlined some major targets that coincide with those set by EGRAG at $8 and $13.<\/p>\n Something that can support the bullish thesis from above is whales\u2019 behavior.
