CryptoInsightUK believes that the long-awaited altcoin season has finally begun, with the $XRP as a possible standout. In a 13-minute market update posted on July 21, the British analyst argued that the dramatic collapse of Bitcoin dominance the previous week "erased 19 weeks of Bitcoin strength in a single candle," a move he called the first clear sign of a sustained rotation to altcoins. He pointed out that volume tells the story, highlighting the disproportionate red bar that accompanied the dominance drop. This pattern, he said, mirrors the setup of December 2020 that preceded the last explosive altcoin cycle. If dominance continues to decrease at the same rate, it could fall to the 39% zone in seven weeks, giving room for altcoins to outperform.
The macro scenario is important because, at the same time, the $XRP just recorded its highest weekly close in history. CryptoInsightUK highlighted a structure of "accumulation and then breakout" on the XRP/USD chart that resembles Bitcoin's own descending staircase of dominance. He believes that XRP breaking out of its historic high range from 2017-2018 could inaugurate a series of higher highs. Liquidity data supports the thesis, with TradingDifferent's heat maps showing "significant liquidity up... to around $4.26." The analyst expects the $XRP to hit that magnet "probably within this week" and believes that a run to $4.50 is "imminent" if Bitcoin breaks through its nearby resistance.
The boldest prediction, however, is denominated in satoshis. With the XRP/BTC pair positioned just below its last significant resistance, CryptoInsightUK sees room for a rally of "at least another 200%—potentially up to 500%—against Bitcoin" once the pair breaks through the level. Such a move, he argued, would push XRP's market share into the 14–20% range, up from approximately 2% today, and would likely coincide with Bitcoin itself advancing to the $135,000–$150,000 corridor. He warned that "things are going to get exciting really quickly," urging followers to prepare profit-taking plans in advance.
Although the video focused on XRP, the analyst revealed that he recently took total profits on his substantial position in Ethena (ENA) after a 100% gain in two weeks, citing overexposure and extreme daily RSI readings. The sale, he said, raised his cash reserve from 2% to about 5%, giving him "the opportunity to hold my XRP pack for longer." CryptoInsightUK acknowledged that timing any cycle top is notoriously difficult. "No one gets the cycle right," he admitted, promising to disclose his own exit strategy in real-time as soon as price action justifies it. For traders who do not "live the charts," he recommended a disciplined profit-taking plan instead of aiming for absolute peaks. For now, the focus remains on two charts: Bitcoin dominance and XRP/BTC. A decisive break in the former and a clean breakout in the latter are the points of attention.
