Crypto Bros know when things feel calm, but under the surface, something is brewing. That’s where the ETH and XRP prices against USD are right now. 
ETH ▲2.11% is hovering above $4,500, while 
XRP ▲1.32% is blasting three three-dollar mark, both managing to inch up against the greenback without much drama.
Meanwhile, 
BTC ▲0.91% stabilizes around $115,000, which gives room for altcoins, especially ETH and XRP, to show their resilience. Over the past few days, Ethereum has climbed steadily, and Ripple’s XRP is holding its ground, hammering every nail that comes its way.
SOL ▲6.02% on the other hand, has been showing a strong chart as they are running above $235 and has 6% gain just in the last 24 hours. Undoubtedly, Solana is leading the altcoin gains today, but eyes are on XRP and Ethereum.

ETH and XRP Price, Signs of Something Big as They Rally Against USD
ETH has been lifted mostly from ETF inflows, about $200 million plus this week, with September historically good for the crypto market, especially after weeks of ranging. XRP, on the other hand, saw its volume perk up, especially with that new ETF announcement in the background.

However, neither is blowing up dramatically yet, but both are acting like they want to. ETH is testing resistance near $4,550, and XRP seems ready to aim for $3.5 or more soon, as every crypto trader wishes.
On weekly charts, ETH USD is building a base above $4,500, and XRP bullish triangle has been broken. Macro stuff—lower rate expectations, money flowing in from institutions, and is lining up in favor of them. The rest of the market looks bullish, but these pairs look like they’re just about to wake up.

Here’s the thing: crypto never really sleeps, but we should. Step away, go outside, touch some grass. Recharge. Because when Monday comes, altcoins like ETH, SOL, and XRP might surprise with another rally against the USD. If this week was the setup, next week could be where things get interesting. Expect an uptrend.
