XMR-BTC Price Chart Indicates Rapid Acceleration in Monero’s Bull Market

Monero Outpaces Bitcoin in 2025, Technical Signals Point to Continued Upside

Monero (XMR), the privacy-centric cryptocurrency, has significantly outperformed Bitcoin (BTC) so far this year, soaring 86% compared to Bitcoin’s 12% gain.

Technical analysis of the XMR-BTC trading pair on Poloniex reveals a bullish breakout, with the ratio hitting its highest point since January 2024. This move confirms a “double-bottom” pattern on the weekly chart, a classic indicator signaling the end of a downtrend and the start of a new upward phase.

The double bottom is characterized by two similar price lows connected by a resistance level called the neckline. When the price breaches this neckline, it often marks a shift from bearish to bullish momentum.

Earlier this year, the ratio formed two lows near 0.00165, and the recent break above the neckline suggests Monero is gaining strength relative to Bitcoin. The pair’s climb above the Ichimoku cloud—a widely used technical indicator—also supports this optimistic outlook.

However, if the ratio falls back below the neckline support, the bullish scenario could be undermined.

With an 86% gain, Monero is clearly outperforming Bitcoin’s more modest 12% rise, indicating strong demand for privacy-focused assets in the current market.
