Monero’s Rally Gains Momentum, XMR-BTC Ratio Signals Bullish Breakout
Monero (XMR), a leading privacy coin, is outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) by a wide margin in 2025, rallying 86% year-to-date compared to Bitcoin’s 12% increase.
The XMR-BTC trading pair on Poloniex recently surged to its highest level since January 2024, confirming a technical breakout from a “double-bottom” pattern on the weekly chart. This classic formation, characterized by two similar lows and a resistance level known as the neckline, often signals a reversal from downtrend to uptrend.
The ratio’s move above the neckline resistance validates this bullish reversal, indicating that Monero’s strength relative to Bitcoin is accelerating. Additionally, the pair has climbed above the Ichimoku cloud indicator, further supporting a positive trend.
Traders will be watching closely to see if the ratio holds above the key support level; a drop back below could negate the bullish outlook.
Overall, Monero’s 86% surge highlights robust demand for privacy-focused cryptocurrencies amid broader market shifts, leaving Bitcoin’s 12% gain in the shadow.
