A 'God Candle' is a technical term used to describe a giant green candle on a price chart, indicating a sudden and strong price surge in a short period.
The phenomenon of a 'God Candle' often attracts investors due to its potential for huge profits, especially when triggered by positive news, whale movements, or changes in market sentiment.
In 2025, many altcoins are expected to break out strongly and potentially form a 'God Candle'. Among them, Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and Pi Network (PI) are emerging as top candidates, attracting special interest from investors and market analysts.
Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is attracting attention due to heavy accumulation by publicly listed companies. Analysts forecast that demand from institutions could absorb the newly issued ETH after the The Merge event.
Accordingly, strong demand is a key factor in predicting the potential 'God Candle' for ETH. Expert Michaël van de Poppe stated:
“ETH is ready for absolute vertical growth.”
In agreement, analyst Alek predicts ETH could rise to $4,000 by August.
“ETH is currently in a consolidation phase and is preparing for a God Candle,” Alek predicts.
Ripple (XRP)
Ripple (XRP) is the next candidate. It is a unique altcoin in the current market, attracting both retail and institutional investors. The XRP community believes that ProShares launching an XRP futures ETF is a stepping stone to obtaining a spot ETF.
According to data from the prediction platform Polymarket, the approval rate for spot ETFs has reached 90%. A spot ETF could attract up to $100 billion into XRP, triggering a strong bullish rally and potentially creating a 'God Candle'.
For this reason, some analysts are comparing previous price surges of XRP to predict a similar breakout. Historical charts show that XRP often produces monthly candles with significant price increase ranges.
Analyst Mikybull predicts:
“Another God Candle is preparing for XRP.”
Some investors are even more optimistic. They expect a 'God Candle' in July for this altcoin to kick off a price surge to $10 by 2025.
Pi Network (PI)
Despite being a controversial project, Pi Network (PI) boasts one of the most loyal and active communities among altcoins.
Recent analysis shows that Pi's price is stable while the conversion volume on exchanges is increasing. Positive news about the project has come and gone, but Pioneers continue to wait for a bigger announcement: Pi being listed on Binance.
“Binance is one of the largest exchanges in the world. If Pi is officially listed there, it could be a game changer for price, volume, and acceptance!” Pi UpdatesDaily stated.
Pioneers believe that this listing could push Pi's price to $10 or even as high as $314.
Although it is still uncertain whether Binance will list Pi, the community has spotted some signs suggesting so. Binance has also previously surveyed users about the possibility of listing.
“No doubt, PI will soon have the largest green candle,” Pi News predicts.
Altcoin riskier than Bitcoin in the current market
While ETH, XRP, and Pi offer significant upside potential with the possibility of a 'God Candle' appearing, a report from Kaiko highlights the widening gap between Bitcoin and altcoins. Bitcoin continues to lead in both performance and stability.
The risk-adjusted return of Bitcoin has now surpassed most altcoins, with its Sharpe ratio outperforming strong gainers like SOL and XRP,” Kaiko's report stated.
This indicates that while altcoins may breakout, they still carry high speculative risks and are more volatile in the current cycle.
