THE MOST CONTESTED RALLY IN DIGITAL ASSETS

XRP continues to generate polarized sentiment across the market. Some dismiss it as merely stable, others call it finished, and skeptics label it problematic.

Looking at the weekly XRP/DXY correlation chart with RSI indicators tells a different story. Rather than viewing XRP's movement in isolation against the Dollar, this framework measures it against broader Global Fiat Strength dynamics.

When you overlay XRP performance against the Dollar Index rather than just nominal USD pricing, the pattern becomes clearer. The relationship between fiat currency weakness and XRP's recovery suggests investors are hedging currency depreciation concerns—not making a speculative bet on a single asset.

This disconnect explains why mainstream skepticism persists. The narrative focuses on XRP adoption debates, while the technical setup indicates something deeper: a macro rotation away from traditional fiat exposure.

The rally that everyone doubts might be exactly the move that matters most when currency cycles shift.

The paper-like tone is too strong. To put it simply: DXY falls, XRP rises—people are just fleeing fiat currency. It's such a simple thing, but it has to be made to sound like macroeconomics.

Fiat currency collapse warning... This wave of XRP price increase is not speculation at all, it's hedging Is it related to DXY again? Basically, the dollar is dying, smart people have already moved onto the chain These XRP folks argue every day, but it's actually clear when you look at DXY—the currency cycle has changed Skeptics are still tangled up in adoption rates; macro rotation has already begun Only when fiat currency is completely finished will they realize how important this rebound is

It's that same DXY correlation trick again... talking it up wildly, but basically just betting on fiat currency devaluation. But on the other hand, if this logic really holds, then those bearish voices should shut up. Look at the charts and speak, don't just listen to stories. Wait, are you really treating XRP as a safe haven? Then you might as well just hold gold directly. If this rebound really materializes, we need to review those skeptics' arguments carefully. Macro rotation is easy to talk about, but it only counts if the index moves in the right direction.

ngl the whole "macro rotation away from fiat" angle actually makes sense when you pull up the correlation charts... most people stuck on adoption narratives while the data screams currency debasement hedge

ngl this article just hits the point... Everyone is just staring at XRP's rise and fall, completely missing the macro picture. Actually, it's because fiat currency is in bad shape, smart money has already started switching chips. Wow, looking at DXY in conjunction with this analysis makes it more reliable. Another story of being fooled by adoption and falling asleep. It's called hedging in a nice way, but basically it's just running away. I agree with this logic, but how far XRP can go still depends on the SEC. So it's probably too late to get on now... Finally, someone has figured this out, but there are still too many doubters. Anyway, macro shifts are signals, and the rest depends on who can hodl.

ngl the DXY correlation angle is actually compelling... people are sleeping on macro hedging vs pure speculation tbh
