XRP Poised to Outperform Gold, Analyst Predicts
An analyst has turned attention to XRP's performance against gold, arguing that the cryptocurrency may be poised to outperform the precious metal. The comparison is unusual, as it does not involve Bitcoin or the US dollar. However, EGRAG CRYPTO has focused on XRP's relative strength against gold, suggesting that the token could eventually appreciate faster than gold.
The analyst notes that this would represent a significant shift in relative performance, as gold has been benefiting from investor demand for safe-haven assets amidst fiscal concerns and geopolitical uncertainty. In contrast, XRP remains far below its 2025 all-time high, despite recovering from sharp declines to $1.00 seen in August.
The thesis is based on a long-term chart that points to the possibility of XRP appreciating faster than gold if historical patterns repeat themselves. EGRAG also believes that the token will 'explode higher' while gold falls. The analyst suggests that this could be triggered by gold retracing or XRP accelerating, creating a powerful combination for the ratio.
In a separate analysis, EGRAG outlined a long-term roadmap for XRP, with targets ranging from $1.75 to $13. The analyst also noted that whales have been accumulating large amounts of XRP, with recent purchases totaling over $720 million.
