$XRP In the midst of a crypto market that navigates between bullish hope and macroeconomic uncertainty, two heavyweights of the altcoin ecosystem are starring in a key duel: XRP, the token of Ripple, and Ethereum, the eternal number two of the market.

While investors seek refuge and profitability beyond Bitcoin, Ripple has gained prominence thanks to the resolution in its case against the SEC and its consolidation as an international payment solution. Is XRP in a position to dethrone Ethereum as the dominant altcoin?

However, the recent break of the last higher low (HL) and the bearish change in the supertrend (green line) suggest a shift in market control. The break with volume of the bullish structure casts doubt on the continuity of XRP over Ethereum, at least in the short term.

On its part, XRPUSDT shows a clear recovery after a strong drop that formed a lower low (LL) around 1.60 dollars. Since then, the price has tried to consolidate in a lateral structure, with a firm technical ceiling in the area of 2.40 dollars.
