XRP is on the verge of testing a critical resistance level against Ethereum (ETH), a threshold that has historically triggered massive price surges. Market analyst Dom recently highlighted this key development on X (formerly Twitter), noting that XRP is currently testing what he described as “the most critical resistance in its history” against Ethereum.
XRP’s Historic Resistance at 0.0012 ETH
According to Dom, every time XRP has successfully breached the 0.0012 ETH level, it has recorded at least a 160% price increase. Currently, the XRP/ETH ratio stands at approximately 0.0011233, suggesting that another major breakout could be imminent.
Dom emphasized the significance of this moment, stating:
“Price historically has ONLY ever gone parabolic if broken, which at minimum has printed a 160% move after breaking this zone. Even half of that, and XRP flips ETH.”
With traders setting alerts for a confirmed breakout, the crypto community is watching closely to see whether XRP will once again repeat its historical trend.

Past XRP/ETH Breakouts and Their Impact
Historical data shows that XRP has exhibited similar bullish behavior against Ethereum multiple times. Notably, in early 2017, late 2017, and early 2018, XRP skyrocketed after surpassing the 0.0012 ETH resistance level, recording rapid gains in short timeframes.
Now, in 2025, XRP is once again at this critical juncture. If it follows the same trajectory, another explosive rally could be on the horizon. Even if the breakout results in a more conservative 80% gain—half of the previous surges—it would still solidify XRP’s dominance over Ethereum in the near term.
XRP’s Strength Against Ethereum in 2025
Since November 2024, XRP has surged by over 480% against ETH, showcasing sustained momentum. In contrast, Ethereum has struggled, experiencing a 35% year-to-date decline, while XRP has posted a 20% gain since January.
