XRP Stuck at $1.43 While Bitcoin Rockets Past $77K, Raising Structural Concerns

Bitcoin has surged past $77k (trading near $78k), reclaiming its 100-day moving average and pushing toward $80k, while XRP remains stuck around $1.43. Technical indicators show XRP trapped in a descending channel since late 2025, unable to test its 100-day (~$1.50) or 200-day (~$1.80) moving averages. On the XRP/BTC pair, XRP is near a multi-month low at ~1,840 sats with key support at 1,800 sats and downside to 1,600 sats. The widening performance gap highlights Bitcoin-led flows and structural weakness in XRP, meaning dollar gains for XRP could be undermined if it cannot reclaim 2,000 sats.
