XRP Leaves PI in the Dust — The 2025 Bull Run Is Just Beginning

Key Takeaways

The XRP price reached a new all-time high on July 18.
The Pi Network (PI) price is near a new all-time low.
What lies ahead for XRP and PI for the rest of 2025?

XRP and PI are two crypto assets with large and devoted followings.

The XRP army has been vindicated in the current market cycle, since XRP increased by 400% in November 2024 and reached a new all-time high in 2025.

However, the Pi Network price has fallen steadily since its launch and reached a new all-time low in July.

Their price movements could not be more different since one is at an all-time high while the other is at an all-time low.

Let’s examine their price movement and see if this can change in 2025.

XRP vs PI

The XRP and PI price movement in 2025 could not be more different.

PI launched in March and immediately reached a new all-time high (red) but fell afterward.

The XRP movement has been the exact opposite. The price gradually consolidated through most of 2025 before beginning a rally in July.

XRP Price Analysis

The XRP price has rallied since April, breaking from a descending resistance trend line.

At first, the rally seemed not to last long, since XRP returned below its pre-breakout levels.

However, that was not the case since there was a strong bounce (green icon) on June 22, and it went fully parabolic afterward.

While XRP has fallen this week, the wave count suggests this is a healthy short-term decline rather than a sign of a top.

According to the count, the XRP price completes a fourth-wave pullback by validating the channel connecting waves one and two.

If this is the case, wave five has started or will begin soon.

The two target levels for the XRP price top are between $4.02-$4.10 and $4.48-$4.68.

The first one is created by the 1.61 external retracement of wave four and by giving wave five the same length as wave one (green).

The second is created by the long-term 1.61 retracement (red) and by extending wave five to 1.61 times the length of wave one (green).

Both will represent new XRP all-time high prices.

PI Price Analysis

On the other hand, the PI price has fallen steadily inside a descending parallel channel since May.

More recently, the channel rejected the PI price on July 22 (red icon), triggering the ongoing downward movement.

Today, the PI price risks breaking down from the $0.43 horizontal support area, which, if it happens, could take it to a new all-time low.

So, unlike the XRP price, PI’s outlook is bearish, with a new all-time low expected soon.

Final Thoughts

Despite their shared popularity, XRP and PI have taken opposite directions in 2025.

XRP’s bullish momentum suggests more upside potential.

PI struggles beneath key support, signaling a breakdown and new lows.
