Ripple has been lagging behind Ethereum on the comparison chart between the two currencies, especially since April, when Ethereum began to clearly outperform it after the launch of digital asset vaults (DAT) such as Bitmine and Sharplink Gaming.
However, analysts have already predicted the winner of the battle as the end of 2025 approaches, with CryptoBull noting that the Ripple vs. Ethereum price chart on the weekly time frame shows a similar trend to its first significant price rise in 2018, when the altcoin Ripple hit an all-time high of $3.84.
Ripple lags Ethereum by $300 billion, but 2018 trend points to inevitable reversal
Although current data indicates that Ripple is $300 billion behind Ethereum in terms of market capitalization, the analyst expects XRP to surpass ETH and end the year with a new all-time high, perhaps surpassing $5.
This expectation is reinforced given that November has often remained the best month for digital currencies.
It is worth noting that the value of Bitcoin (BTC) typically increases by 46% in November, and the impact of this rise is often transmitted to Ripple.
Technical analysis: Ripple price could look for a breakout to $2.40
Looking at the hourly chart of the XRP/USDT pair, Ripple is trading in a range, with significant resistance in the $2.66 to $2.79 area.
The price movement indicates the formation of a pattern of relative stability after the recent decline, which is normal as the market is looking for liquidity before taking the next decisive step.
The $2,661 level also represents a very important potential breakout point. If Ripple price manages to regain this level and hold strongly above it, it will confirm the end of the stabilization phase, and it is likely that it will begin a move towards the next resistance zone at $2.79, and perhaps beyond.
However, we can expect to see some short-term declines as the market seeks to gain liquidity below current levels, which is a natural part of stability before any breakout attempt.
From what we are observing, the support level could form around the $2.46 to $2.50 area, so stability above this area will become crucial to maintain the bullish scenario.
On the other hand, the lack of stability above the support level may lead Ripple price to test lower levels around $2.35 to $2.40 before finding enough buying strength to push it towards the breakout level.
Technical analyst EtherNasyonaL pointed out that when a resistance level is tested more than three times and the price continues to gain momentum above the key support level, that resistance will break sooner or later.
Tick…Tock… $XRP
When a resistance level is tested more than three times and the price continues to build above a major support, that resistance is bound to break, sooner or later.

Each test weakens sellers’ defense and absorbs supply, leading to decreased liquidity and increased market pressure.
