An XRP community commentator has identified a hidden Dollar index (DXY) Pattern that could point to the next XRP price breakout.
This pattern was recently highlighted by Vandell Aljarrah, who co-founded the Black Swan Capitalist with his brother Versan Aljarrah. Notably, he shared a chart showing that over the past seven years, XRP price has broken out to greater heights whenever the Dollar Index, or DXY, dropped sharply to specific lows.
XRP Pumps Whenever DXY Drops
Data from the chart shows that this pattern first played out during the 2017/2018 broader crypto market bull run. Specifically, after hitting a peak of 103.8 in January 2017, the DXY collapsed in the months that followed, reaching a local bottom of 88 by January 2018.
Interestingly, the XRP price moved in the opposite direction. Notably, following a drop to $0.005 in February 2017, XRP recovered impressively, as the DXY crashed. Over the following months, XRP surged, eventually reaching an all-time high of $3.8 in January 2018. This ATH price coincided with the DXY bottom that month.
The DXY rebounded shortly after, and, expectedly, XRP retraced considerably to reach new lows. However, the chart shows that the Dollar Index again crashed to a low of 89 in mid-2021. During this period, XRP embarked on another uptrend, reaching a peak of $1.96 before correcting.
This pattern played out a third time during the November 2024 rally by XRP, but at a lower rate. Specifically, the XRP upsurge from Q4 2024 coincided with a drop in the DXY to 100.6. Despite the DXY recovering later, XRP went on to record a near 600% increase to $3.4 by January 2025.
Possible Repetition?
Now, the DXY is crashing again as prevalent U.S. economic policies lead to a weaker dollar. Amid this drop, Vandell sees a possible collapse back to the 88 region from January 2018. Should this occur, the pundit expects XRP to record another explosive breakout.
Also, further data from the chart shows trends that lend credence to an imminent XRP run. For context, from January 2018 to October 2024, XRP traded within a large symmetrical triangle. When it rallied in November 2024, it broke above this symmetrical triangle.
However, after hitting $3.4 in January 2025, XRP corrected and has since been trading within a smaller symmetrical triangle, which could equally pass as a bull pennant. Interestingly, the latest rally above $3 has seen XRP break above this triangle, which could lead to further gains.
Speaking on this, Vandell suggested that this pattern was “hidden in plain sight,” as several analysts have failed to notice it. Moreover, market watcher Ali Martinez recently confirmed that whales have bought 2.2 billion XRP over the past week. These tokens are now worth $6.82 billion, as XRP currently trades for $3.14. This whale accumulation could grant further strength to the imminent upward push.
