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.
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.
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.
GOLDXRP 1D Chart | XFinanceBullNow, 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.
