XRP Up 8% In 1 Week But Underperforms Bitcoin, ETH: What Is Going On?

XRP XRP/USD has notably underperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum over the recent days, but market observers remain confident that its moment will come soon.

Trader Notes: Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that XRP has completed its bullish retest, with $3.60 now the key target.

CrediBULL Crypto highlighted that a minor dip pushed XRP back toward his original entry zone, calling it an "ideal" area for new buyers. As long as the green support holds, range highs or even a new all-time high remain possible.

Dark Defender sees XRP poised for a breakout above the critical $3.33 level, potentially paving the way toward $4.44 and $5.85. RSI indicators suggest bullish momentum is building.

Statistics: Glassnode data shows major altcoins performing strongly over the past seven days: Ethereum and Dogecoin up 25.5%, XRP up 16.2%, and Solana up 13.6%, reflecting growing speculative interest in higher-beta assets.
