Market Data Shows XRP
Current Display
Despite ongoing market turbulence, XRP has proven more resilient than its historical performance.
It is noteworthy that due to the broader market chaos, the cryptocurrency market has triggered a bearish turbulence since February 2025, losing over $550 billion in valuation during this period.
XRP has also collapsed from a peak of $3.4 in mid-January 2025 to trade in the $2 range. However, despite the poor performance, analysts believe XRP has fared better than most expected. Firstly, while the global cryptocurrency market cap has consistently decreased by 17%, XRP has increased by 2.72% in the same time frame.
XRP Trading with RTY
At the same time, market commentators and blockchain supporters focus on the historical precedents indicating that the range of this resilience suggests that XRP’s trading could be 300% higher than its expected price position. Analysts have referred to this strength as “quirky.”
It is noteworthy that blockchain supporters have compared XRP’s historical performance with the Russell 2000 Index (RTY), which is a stock market index in the United States that essentially tracks the performance of approximately 2,000 small-cap companies.
According to his disclosures, every time the broader market experiences an uptick or downturn, XRP and the Russell 2000 Index move in sync with uncanny precision.
For example, during the Covid-19 period, RTY witnessed a brief rally from the end of 2019 to early 2020. However, after peaking at $1,712 in January 2020, the index continued to decline until the end of the first quarter of 2020, while XRP’s price surged, with similar price actions occurring in February 2020, reaching $0.34.

This pattern also played out during the 2022 crypto bear market. Specifically, when RTY recovered from the crash in the second quarter of 2020, it skyrocketed from May 2020 to a peak of $2,368 in March 2021, ultimately declining in early 2022. XRP also surged to $1.96 in April 2021 before plummeting to $0.28 in 2022.

XRP Now Shows Better Resilience
Furthermore, when the market recovery occurs at the end of 2024, XRP and RTY witnessed a massive rally. However, since bearish pressure has materialized, and RTY has declined nearly 19% this year, XRP has shown resilience, enhancing by 2.72% during the same period, despite a 29% drop in February.
According to blockchain supporters, XRP has failed to collapse alongside RTY during the market crash for the first time. Market analysts suggest that if XRP follows historical trends, its price should be around $0.50 now. XRP is currently trading at $2.13, indicating that the asset’s trading price is 300% higher.

John Bollinger, the creator of Bollinger Bands, has also highlighted XRP’s resilience last month. However, it remains to be seen whether XRP will follow future trends as the market collapse continues. Analysts like Astekz have already called for a steeper decline if XRP loses $2.
