Indicator Overview

The XRP vs. BTC Relative Performance Ratio (RPR) indicator measures XRP’s performance relative to Bitcoin by normalising price changes from a dynamic starting point and applying user-selectable smoothing (SMA or EMA over 5–20 days). The resulting ratio line is coloured on a dual gradient, green shades intensifying above 1.0 (XRP outperformance) and orange shades intensifying below 1.0 (BTC outperformance), with filled area anchored to the parity line (1.0) for visual emphasis on leadership shifts between Bitcoin and this payment-focused asset.

How To Use

Values significantly above 1.0 signal XRP strength and outperformance, often driven by regulatory clarity, banking adoption news, remittance narrative revival, or speculative surges, leading to capital rotation out of Bitcoin into XRP, while values markedly below 1.0 indicate Bitcoin dominance, typically during risk-off periods or when XRP faces legal/regulatory headwinds. Divergences, such as Bitcoin price rising while RPR declines, reinforce sustained BTC leadership, whereas RPR climbing sharply alongside or ahead of XRP price suggests weakening BTC dominance and potential XRP/BTC breakout momentum. Traders monitor breaks above prior highs for XRP/BTC upside confirmation or drops below key supports as signals of reversion to BTC strength, supporting precise pair trading, event-driven opportunities, and tracking of XRP-specific cycles within the broader cryptocurrency market.
