XRP\u2019s price topped out around $1.48 that same day. Both then pulled back after stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data reshaped expectations for Federal Reserve policy.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/price-predictions\/bitcoin-price-could-reach-250k-840k-if-wall-street-allocations-grow\/\">bitcoin\u2019s price<\/a> has consolidated between roughly $78,700 and $80,500. XRP\u2019s price has traded between about $1.38 and $1.43. Their percentage declines of 5-7% from the recent highs have also been strikingly similar.<\/p>\n<p>That synchronization is now facing its clearest test.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe degree of synchronisation between bitcoin and XRP over the past two weeks is notable because it is not driven by the same underlying asset,\u201d Bitrue Research Institute noted in an update shared with Bitcoin.com News. \u201cWhen two assets with different fundamentals move in near-perfect lockstep, it usually means the market is pricing macro risk rather than asset-specific value.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_845967\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-845967\" style=\"width:1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-845967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bitcoin and XRP price correlation on daily timeframe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>XRP Gets a Catalyst Bitcoin Does Not<\/h2>\n<p>Around Sept. 11, the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/defi\/ripple-backs-rlusd-lending-push-on-xrp-ledger-with-clearpool-cicada\/\">XRP Ledger<\/a> is expected to activate its fixCleanup3_3_0 amendment, assuming validator support remains above the required 80% threshold.<\/p>\n<p>The upgrade includes technical improvements affecting vaults, the lending protocol, and automated market makers. It also advances infrastructure linked to DeFi and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/franklin-templeton-brings-tokenized-benji-into-etfs-and-mutual-funds\/\">tokenized real-world assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin has no comparable network catalyst this week.<\/p>\n<p>That creates an unusually clean market experiment. If XRP\u2019s price pushes above $1.43 and moves toward $1.50 while bitcoin\u2019s price remains range-bound, investors could begin treating XRP as an asset capable of responding to its own fundamentals.<\/p>\n<p>If XRP simply keeps mirroring bitcoin, the message would be different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmendment activations on XRPL have historically generated positive ecosystem sentiment. But this one lands in an environment where XRP has been trading as a high-beta macro asset rather than on its own fundamentals,\u201d Bitrue Research Institute added.<\/p>\n<h2>CPI Could Reveal Whether the Correlation Is Structural<\/h2>\n<p>The timing becomes more interesting because August U.S. CPI is also due around Sept. 11. A softer inflation reading could lift both crypto assets. A hotter print could pressure both. The useful signal will be the difference between their reactions.<\/p>\n<p>Institutional flows add another layer. Spot bitcoin ETFs drew <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin-etf\/bitcoin-takes-79-of-crypto-etf-weekly-inflows-as-funds-add-1-24b\/\">nearly $1 billion last week<\/a>, extending three-week inflows to about $3.8 billion. XRP ETFs added roughly $19 million, taking cumulative inflows since launch to about $1.68 billion.<\/p>\n<p>For XRP investors, this is about more than a short-term price move.<\/p>\n<p>If XRP can separate from bitcoin when its own ecosystem delivers a positive catalyst, the case for viewing it as a distinct institutional allocation strengthens. If it cannot, the market may be saying that macro still matters more than the XRP Ledger itself.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoin-price-holds-near-80k-as-xrp-eyes-1-50-ahead-of-sept-11-test\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Bitcoin and XRP peaked Sept. 3, then fell in near-lockstep as Fed expectations shifted.
