Crypto analyst Skipper has drawn attention to a significant development for XRP, even as it continues to trade below the psychological $2 level. Based on this development, the selling pressure could be easing for the altcoin, while ETFs continue to contribute to buying pressure as they maintain their inflow streak. 

Analyst Reveals XRP’s Stochastic RSI Has Hit 0.0

In an X post, Skipper revealed that XRP’s stochastic RSI has hit 0.0 for only the second time ever. This came as he noted that the altcoin has had a rough run, as it is down 35% in this quarter, 10% this year, marking its first yearly loss since 2022. The analyst added that XRP is also below the key $2 level.

However, Skipper suggested that analyst Steph’s discovery about XRP’s Stoch RSI hitting 0.0 on the 3-week chart provides some optimism. He noted that this has only happened once before, which was in 2020, right before the altcoin bottomed at $0.28 during the Terra LUNA crash. 

Skipper also pointed to Steph’s statement that this could mean selling pressure is almost gone for XRP, though a quick bounce may not occur. The altcoin notably stayed flat for months in 2022 before it recovered. The analyst also mentioned that the drop in the stoch RSI marks cycle lows, not short-term trades. 

 While the selling pressure looks to be cooling, XRP continues to see significant buying pressure from the XRP ETFs, which marks a positive for the altcoin. SoSo Value data shows that these funds have recorded daily net inflows since they launched. As a result, they hold net assets of $1.25 billion, which is almost 1% of XRP’s market cap. 

XRP Supercycle To Happen Next Year

Self-acclaimed largest IQ holder YoungHoon Kim stated in an X post that the XRP supercycle will happen next year. Kim had earlier predicted that the altcoin could reach $10 or higher next year, which would mark new all-time highs (ATHs). This looks to be based on his belief that “all crypto will eventually connect with XRP.”

In the meantime, crypto analyst Crypto King has stated that patience is key as XRP looks to reclaim key levels. The analyst noted that the price is holding just above the $1.85 critical support and that a strong bounce and a reclaim of $1.98 would signal a momentum shift. He added that if that price level breaks, the first upside target is the first resistance at $2.58. Meanwhile, there is also room for the altcoin to rally to as high as $3.66 next. 

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.86, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

XRP price has formed a bullish cross on its weekly Stochastic RSI, creating a bullish sign for the cryptocurrency at a time when its price has been struggling to break away from the $2 region. The cryptocurrency has spent the past several days moving into a downturn, and buyers will now be looking to defend $2.

Even though momentum has been limited, new inflows from recently launched XRP ETFs have kept sentiment from turning full-on bearish. 

XRP Stochastic RSI Undergoes Bullish Weekly Cross

According to crypto analyst ChartNerd, XRP has just printed a bullish cross on its weekly Stochastic RSI while still sitting deep in oversold territory. The chart he shared highlights how the blue %K line has curved upward and crossed above the orange %D line at one of the lowest points of the cycle.

With this move, the indicator has now repeated a structure that previously marked major turning points during XRP’s past market swings. Oversold weekly conditions paired with a confirmed cross are useful in predicting the early stages of trend reversals, especially when they occur after extended downside momentum. 

ChartNerd pointed out that this same configuration appeared twice recently, first in 2024 and again in 2025, and both instances produced powerful rallies. The 2024 cross preceded a surge of more than 600%, at which point the XRP price went from trading around $0.5 to trading above $3. 

The mid-2025 cross delivered a smaller yet still significant 130% run, at which point the XRP price went from hovering around $2.1 to breaking new all-time highs above $3.6 in July. 

As shown in the chart below, these earlier crosses are marked at similar low points, forming a repeating rhythm of sharp recoveries whenever the weekly Stochastic RSI resets and turns up. The current setup is in the same zone, and this opens up speculation that XRP’s price action may be forming the base of its next major upward leg.

Is Another Major XRP Pump Approaching?

Although past performance does not dictate what happens next, the indicator’s consistency on the weekly timeframe is difficult to ignore. XRP’s price is again positioned inside a compressed region just as it was before its previous large rallies. This time, the price zone to take note of is around $2.

If buyers regain strength and the wider crypto market conditions improve, most notably Bitcoin climbing back above $100,000, then the probability of a stronger XRP reaction increases. The only thing going well right now for XRP is the inflows into US-based Spot XRP ETFs, with $89.65 million worth of new institutional funds coming in on December 1.

A rally similar to the 130% rebound seen during the previous cycle would lift XRP from $2 to about $4.60. A repeat of the much larger 600% surge would place the token above $14. This creates a potential range between $4.60 and $14 if the pattern repeats itself.

Bitcoin investors are still dwelling in excitement in light of a recent breakout towards $66,000.  This rally has reignited bullish sentiment across the market, with many traders now anticipating higher highs for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. According to a crypto analyst, this breakout has seen the stochastic indicator print a signal to a rally that could send Bitcoin to the $500,000 price target.

Stochastic Breakout To Send BTC Price Above $500,000

Taking to social media platform X, a crypto analyst known as Tarder Tardigrade highlighted an interesting price breakout with the Stochastic Indicator. The stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis to measure the closing price of an asset relative to its price range over a specified period. Like the RSI, it can help to identify overbought or oversold conditions.

In Trader Tardigrade’s analysis, which was accompanied by a detailed BTCUSD monthly candlestick chart, he pointed out that the stochastic indicator has been steadily moving downward and remained confined within a falling wedge pattern for most of 2024. However, the recent rally in Bitcoin’s price, which was first observed in September and has now resumed in October, triggered a notable breakout from this falling wedge

The analyst emphasized that this stochastic breakout coincided with the formation of a local bottom in Bitcoin’s price, around the critical $60,000 level. He further noted that this breakout is not just significant in isolation but represents the starting point for what he predicts to be a parabolic rally. According to Trader Tardigrade, this breakout sets the stage for Bitcoin to potentially surge toward the $500,000 price target.

When To Expect A $500,000 Bitcoin?

This interesting projection of the Bitcoin price is supported by a similar pattern following a previous breakout of the stochastic indicator, which also aligned with a local bottom in late 2016. After that breakout, Bitcoin saw an extraordinary price surge over the subsequent months, culminating in a peak of $19,600 in December 2017.

Going by this previous price performance, a similar breakout would see Bitcoin continue to surge throughout the rest of 2024 and the entirety of 2025. Notably, the analyst highlighted a peak of the parabolic rally at $520,000 sometime in 2026.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $65,750 and has increased by 2.4% in the past 24 hours. A parabolic rally to $520,000 would translate to a 690% increase from the current price. 

In another analysis of the daily candlestick timeframe chart, Trader Tardigrade highlighted that there are no reasons to be bearish on Bitcoin at the moment. The price is demonstrating strong momentum, having flipped a key descending resistance trendline into support, and is now breaking out of another falling wedge above the descending trendline.
