Amid the latest rebound, an analyst has identified levels $XRP must conquer against Bitcoin and Ethereum to eye higher targets.
Notably, after $XRP staged an impressive recovery on Nov. 10, market analyst CryptoInsightUK discussed its performance against Ethereum ($ETH) and Bitcoin ($BTC), highlighting the major levels $XRP must reclaim to gain stronger momentum.
In his latest analysis, he noted that $XRP closed the previous day 6.7% higher, ending at $2.47. He noted that the move was encouraging but pointed out that $XRP still failed to close above $2.52, which has acted as a key resistance level since the last downturn.
On Nov. 10, $XRP came close to clearing this hurdle but closed at 0.0007075 $ETH, just below the previous local high at 0.0007087 $ETH. He said the strong daily candle was a good sign, yet closing below resistance limited $XRP’s upward potential.
According to him, $XRP needs to close above 0.00071 $ETH on the daily chart to confirm a bullish breakout. On the 3-day chart, which was set to close later that day, $XRP could show strength with a smaller move or a close above 0.0007057 $ETH.
The analyst stressed that $XRP would have to outperform $ETH by roughly 2.27% to reach that point. Notably, he called attention to the fact that $XRP already outperformed $ETH by 7% on Nov. 10, making a milder 2.27% increase possible, even if it may not happen immediately.
$XRP Performance Against Bitcoin
After analyzing the $ETH pair, he called attention to $XRP’s performance against Bitcoin. He also described the setup as a mix of positives and negatives.
CryptoInsightUK noted that $XRP managed to close above all daily candle closes between Oct. 10, when the market crash occurred, and Nov. 11, reclaiming about a month’s worth of lost ground. Despite this, $XRP ran into the lower edge of a tough resistance zone between 0.00002436 $BTC and 0.00002528 $BTC.
For context, this range once served as a major support zone between February and April 2025 before $XRP lost it in April, flipping it into resistance. $XRP tested and rejected the area in May, regained it as support during the July 2025 rally, and then fell below it again after the October crash. $XRP is now trying to reclaim this zone and turn it back into support.
CryptoInsightUK noted that while $XRP closed above a group of consolidation candles, it still finished below that resistance area on the 3-day chart.
He emphasized that a close above the 0.000024 $BTC to 0.00002531 $BTC range would show a real shift in direction. The higher the timeframe showing that close, the more confidence he would have in a confirmed trend change.
$XRP to $5 by Year-End?
Meanwhile, in the long-term Levi Rietvald, another market commentator, maintained a bullish view. Specifically, he called attention to a cup-and-handle pattern on $XRP’s 3-day chart.

For context, the cup formed as $XRP fell from $3.4 in January to $1.6 in April, before rebounding to $3.66 in July. The rejection that followed created a descending channel, forming the handle. $XRP still trades within the handle, and Rietvald believes a breakout could lead to $5 by year-end.
