While BNB has recently outperformed the rest of the market, analyst EGRAG believes it still has more growth room, and XRP could follow with its own explosive surge.
For context, BNB has been one of the best-performing crypto assets on the top 100 list in the past seven days. Specifically, the Binance-affiliated token has increased 16.46% over the last week, ranking third among the top performers within this period.
Amid this upsurge, BNB has claimed new all-time highs, with the latest one being $1,350 on Oct. 7. However, while BNB has performed exceptionally well, XRP has lagged, collapsing 7.52% in the past week and relinquishing the $3 mark. As a result, BNB has since surpassed XRP in market ranking.
Despite BNB’s recent run, EGRAG believes it has more room to grow. However, the analyst also expects XRP to recover from its slumber and engineer a similar run. Notably, to prove his point, he called attention to similarities between BNB and gold’s trajectories, and then juxtaposed them to XRP’s price action.
BNB Following Gold’s Trajectory
For context, EGRAG found that BNB and gold have been moving in the same path on the 3-month and 1-month charts, with BNB lagging behind by a few years. Specifically, the analyst called attention to a drop below a horizontal trendline and a subsequent break above this trend after years of building momentum below the mark.
For gold, the drop below the trendline occurred in September 2011 on the 3-month chart, when it collapsed from the $1,921 peak following the U.S. and global stock market crash the month before. Gold spent years trading below this trendline but eventually recovered above it in November 2023 when it decisively overcame the $2,000 mark.
Following this breakout, gold has been on an upward trajectory, recently doubling its value to hit a new peak above $4,000 this month, about two years after it broke above the trendline.
EGRAG believes BNB is following this path. For BNB, it slumped below the trendline in May 2021, after dropping from the $691 peak at the time. BNB spent the next four years trading below the trendline until it finally surpassed the $700 mark decisively in February 2025.
Since then, BNB has seen nothing but massive gains, with its latest all-time high of $1,350 representing a 93% gain since it broke above the trendline eight months ago. However, EGRAG expects BNB to continue following gold’s path, potentially hitting a new peak of $2,000.
XRP Following BNB’s Trajectory
Now, the analyst also found that XRP appears to be trailing BNB’s path. According to EGRAG’s chart, XRP also dropped below a similar horizontal trendline when it crashed from the $3.31 peak in January 2018. However, after nearly seven years of trading below the trendline, it overcame it during the November 2024 rally.
While XRP has been on an upward path since then, its growth rate has been less explosive. EGRAG believes it is still following BNB’s trajectory, and as BNB surges to a new ATH above $2,000, XRP could follow suit. Specifically, he expects XRP to rally to $13, representing a 364% increase from the current price of $2.8.
