XRP or Bitcoin in 2026? Top Crypto Analysts' Insights Lean to Alts
Source: CoinEdition Original Title: XRP or Bitcoin in 2026? Top Crypto Analysts’ Insights Lean to Alts Original Link:
XRP Price Holds Above Crucial Demand Zone
According to crypto analyst DEFI PENIEL, XRP is well-poised to rebound in 2026 after holding above a crucial demand zone between $1.82 and $1.98. The crypto analyst noted that this zone, which acted as a major sell zone during the 2021 crypto bull market, has been bolstered as a support zone in 2025.
The crypto analyst highlighted that XRP-linked investment products have continued to record positive cash inflows over the past few weeks amid choppy markets. As such, this crypto analyst expects the XRP price to hold its current demand zone ahead of a near-term rebound.
“You don’t need bullish tweets here. You need support to hold while fear does the work. That’s how accumulation actually looks,” the analyst noted.
Classical Positioning Favors Higher Profits In XRP over Bitcoin in 2026
According to analyst CrediBULL Crypto, the XRP price will continue to outshine Bitcoin in the imminent 2026 bull market. With the XRP/BTC having confirmed a bullish breakout, this crypto analyst expects a fresh bull rally in 2026.
From a technical analysis perspective, the analyst highlighted that the XRP/BTC pair is almost completing the second wave in preparation for a 3rd wave in accordance with the Elliott Wave theory.
Justified Greed for Altcoins?
Crypto analysts have been advocating for an XRP accumulation due to expected capital rotation to altcoins in 2026. Furthermore, the altcoin market has underperformed Bitcoin in 2025 due to Bitcoin’s global stability.
The altcoin market is expected to gain momentum in stability after regulatory clarity initiatives, potentially before the end of the first quarter of 2026. Notably, ongoing global money printing has eroded the fiat market and increased demand for precious metals among institutions, retailers, and global central banks.
With the XRP ecosystem growing exponentially in 2025, backed by regulatory clarity, the expected capital rotation to altcoins justifies analyst signaling to traders to turn greedy in the coming weeks. Moreover, XRP is a blue-chip altcoin whose spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. have outperformed its peers.
