Breaking a Long-Term Downtrend: The XRP/ETH Monthly Chart
The monthly trading chart for the XRP/Ethereum (XRP/ETH) pair displays a technical formation. Since 2018, XRP has been continuously declining against Ethereum, indicated by a descending orange trendline on the chart. This trendline has acted as a steady resistance level, pushing the trading pair lower over the years.
Recently, XRP broke above this bear market line, an event often seen by analysts as a bullish signal. This breakout, marked by a green circle on the chart, suggests a potential end to the long-standing bearish trend for XRP relative to ETH.

Moreover, the Elliott Wave Theory argues that market prices move in predictable patterns based on investor psychology. The conclusion of a corrective cycle often follows a new breakout wave, which could indicate an upcoming upward movement for XRP against ETH.
