GOLD/XRP Chart Now Cooking, as It Targets Slip from Accumulation to Expansion

The gold chart against XRP appears ready to cook, as gold eyes slip into expansion after completing distribution, capitulation, and now, accumulation.

XRP has witnessed bearish pressure since it collapsed from the July 2025 peak of $3.6, and these struggles have been reflected in its monthly gold chart. Specifically, as gold continues to record new all-time highs, while XRP faces declines, the GOLD/XRP chart has observed greater heights since July 2025.

Interestingly, chart data suggests that this trend may persist, as the GOLD/XRP pair now looks ready to slip into what analysts call an expansion phase. Notably, this comes after the pair completed the distribution, capitulation, and accumulation phases.

Key Points

• Since August 2025, XRP has faced bearish pressure, while gold has recorded new all-time highs, leading to a gradual uptick in the GOLD/XRP chart.
• Data from the chart indicates that this trend may continue in the long term, possibly allowing gold to breach a multi-year trendline that has lasted since June 2020.
• Further data shows that this breach may push gold into what analysts call an expansion phase, which typically involves rapid price surges.
• This comes as gold completes two past phases involving distribution and capitulation, with the current accumulation phase close to an end.

Gold Outperforms XRP Short-Term

XFinanceBull, a well-known market commentator, called attention to this market condition in a recent analysis. However, his analysis misinterpreted the chart data, as he erroneously suggested that this pattern was leading to an XRP breakout against gold, not a gold breakout against XRP.

The market analyst stressed that after seven years of bleeding, the GOLD/XRP chart was on the verge of “cooking.” Notably, these seven years of bleeding involved XRP outperforming gold since the 2017 rally, with gold looking to break this trend amid a reversal in the short-term.

This reversal began after XRP collapsed from the July 2025 peak of $3.6, dipping below $3 and struggling around the $2 mark. As a result, the GOLD/XRP chart has seen five consecutive monthly gains, rising from 1,088 in August 2025 to the current value of 2,587. This suggests that gold has outperformed XRP in the short term.

GOLD/XRP Chart Eyeing Expansion Phase

Interestingly, XFinanceBull believes this short-term outperformance could continue, as the GOLD/XRP chart looks on the verge of entering an expansion phase. Notably, from August 2013 to March 2017, gold traded within a range of 92,512 XRP to 469,769 XRP in what XFinanceBull called the distribution phase.

XRP surged from March 2017, pushing gold down from that earlier range to a low of 399 XRP by January 2018. The analyst noted that this downward push represented the capitulation phase. Interestingly, after this phase, XRP has struggled to hold above $2 and $3, allowing gold to recover gradually. The pair has remained in this phase since 2018, with XFinanceBull calling it accumulation.

Now, the analyst believes the accumulation phase is on the verge of ending, with a possible expansion phase pushing gold from the current price of 2,587 XRP to 3,400 XRP. However, for gold to enter this expansion phase, it must first breach a multi-year resistance trendline that has capped upside potential since June 2020.
