XRP is reaching a significant resistance level against Ethereum, noted by analyst Dom, which could lead to substantial price increases.
Previous XRP/ETH Breakouts and Their Impact
Historical data reveals that XRP has exhibited similar behavior against Ethereum on multiple occasions. In early 2017, late 2017, and early 2018, XRP experienced sharp rallies once it decisively broke through the 0.0012 ETH resistance level. These breakouts resulted in rapid price increases within a short time frame. Now, in 2025, XRP is once again testing this resistance. Given its previous patterns, speculation has grown about whether it will follow the same trajectory. Dom pointed out that even if XRP’s rally this time is only half the size of previous ones—around 80% instead of 160%—it would still establish XRP as a strong performer against Ethereum.
Extended XRP Outperformance Against Ethereum
This resistance test aligns with Dom’s broader outlook, where he has consistently suggested that XRP could outperform Ethereum throughout the current bull cycle. Since November 2024, XRP has surged by over 480% against ETH, reinforcing the argument that it may continue to gain ground. At the same time, Ethereum has struggled relative to XRP and other major assets. Year-to-date, Ethereum’s price has declined by 35%, while Bitcoin has only seen a modest drop of 3.7%. In contrast, XRP has posted a 20% gain since the beginning of 2025.
Future of XRP After a Successful Breakout
If XRP successfully overcomes the 0.0012 ETH barrier, Dom believes it could trigger an extended period where XRP significantly outperforms Ethereum. The current price of XRP is $2.50, according to CoinMarketCap data. If history repeats itself and XRP reaches a new level, it could open up new opportunities for investors and traders.
Historical data and current trends suggest that a potential breakout could be a significant moment for XRP, strengthening its position in the crypto market compared to Ethereum.
