Trader Says XRP Rival Forming Pattern That Could Trigger 300% Price Explosion, Updates Outlook on Bitcoin

Analyst and trader Ali Martinez is leaning bullish on a large-cap crypto project focusing on payments and cross-border transactions.

Martinez tells his 129,700 followers on the social media platform X that Stellar (XLM) is forming a bullish pattern on the three-day chart.

According to Martinez, the XRP (XRP) rival could go up by nearly 4x from a major resistance level.

“Since November 2024, Stellar appears to be forming a bullish flag. The 600% rally seen in November created the pattern’s flagpole and the consolidation phase we have seen since then is forming the pattern’s flag. Now, a sustained break above the $0.42 resistance could trigger a bull run to $1.60 – representing a 300% price increase.”

Stellar is trading at $0.304 at time of writing.

Turning to Bitcoin (BTC), the crypto analyst and trader says the largest crypto asset by market cap is flashing a bullish reversal signal.
