VirtualBacon eyes XRP buy if Bitcoin pair drops 20–23%, entering value zone soon.

XRP, one of the most talked-about altcoins in crypto history, may finally be catching the attention of some seasoned traders

Prominent crypto analyst VirtualBacon, known for his technical insights and market observations, shared that he might finally be buying XRP, a move that could interest those following his analysis.

While VirtualBacon usually focuses on Bitcoin and his preferred altcoins like Solana, his attention has been drawn to XRP in recent times. However, he’s not looking at the dollar price; instead, his decision hinges on the XRP/BTC pair and a few key technical signals.

“I’ll buy XRP when this happens 👀I’ve never held XRP. But that might be about to change.One key signal is setting up and if it triggers in the next 3-6 months, I’ll finally add XRP to my portfolio.Here’s what I’m watching 🧵👇,” said VirtualBacon.

Those who follow his analysis know that VirtualBacon prefers to keep his mind open and avoid biases. He acknowledged that he’s never bought XRP before, despite it being one of the most talked-about altcoins.

But if a specific technical level on the XRP/BTC chart breaks and XRP drops another 20–23%, it will enter what VirtualBacon calls the “value zone,” which he defines as the 0.000017–0.000019 BTC range.

“If the 0.000022 BTC level on the XRP/BTC chart breaks and we see a 20–23% drop from here, I’ll be placing a buy order for XRP around the 0.000017–0.000019 BTC range (which is about a $1.80 price). This is the cleanest XRP setup I’ve seen in 2 years and I’ll be putting it in my portfolio,” explained VirtualBacon.

Having followed cryptocurrencies since 2014, VirtualBacon said that he’s seen many trends come and go, and he prefers to prepare in advance rather than chase signals.

This time, he’s setting himself up to buy XRP if the technical setup plays out as expected, which could be a key signal for those who follow his analysis.

Moreover, a breakout for XRP could also mark a comeback for some of the older coins that have been less talked about in recent years, such as Cardano, Stellar, HBAR, Algorand, and XDC.

While coins like Ethereum and Solana have gained recognition among institutions and retail traders respectively, XRP stands out for the sheer number of people who know about it, especially during the 2017 bull market.

With the legal battle nearly over, ETF talks in progress, and its positioning in the market improving, XRP might be staging something bigger than just a pump.
