Bitcoin today beats a new all-time high, surpassing $125,500 and extending the dominant bull run of 2025. History shows that some major altcoins often follow that momentum, as the world’s largest cryptocurrencies lead the fees.
Data over the past few years highlight that XRP, BNB, and Litecoin (LTC) have consistently strong positive correlations with Bitcoin prices.
Although they are not always running in a complete lockstep, these coins tend to rise when Bitcoin collects. The correlation chart for the last three months further strengthens this trend.

XRP: Follows Bitcoin’s momentum with a slight delay
XRP has long been a medium to strong positive correlation with Bitcoin. Historically, its price direction reflects the movement of the broader market for BTC, but is often slightly behind.
In 2023 and 2024, when Bitcoin recovered from a post-FTX slump, XRP also rebounded, reflecting a correlation of more than 0.5 to 0.8 depending on the duration.
That pattern was repeated in 2025. There, despite independent catalysts like Ripple’s regulatory victory, the overall trends of XRP were along Bitcoin climbs.
The latest Spearman correlation chart (July-October 2025) shows strong levels of directional alignment, maintaining an average correlation of 0.76 for XRP. The metric peaked at near 0.78 during the BTC rally in August, and was slightly relaxed.
This suggests that the likelihood of XRP rise remains high, especially when market liquidity deepens around large tokens, as Bitcoin is aiming for $150,000.

BNB: Swap giants that move in sync with the market leader
BNB’s correlation with Bitcoin has historically been the strongest in the Altcoin market. The BTC has also recovered, so the tokens reached an all-time high yesterday.
Between 2021 and 2024, BNB showed correlations ranging from 0.7 to 0.9 for BTC. During intense rallying phases such as mid-2021 and early 2024, this number touched 0.98, indicating a movement closer to Rockstep.
The current three-month chart (July-October 2025) confirms this consistency. The correlation was bolstered from 0.64 in July to about 0.71 in October, tracking Bitcoin climbs to new highs.
The rise shows updated investor integrity with top-level assets, reinforcing the BNB price direction closely related to BTC’s broader sentiment.

As BSC chains see a surge in trading volume, BNB’s advances are seen proportionally as Bitcoin moves towards $150,000, especially at the bullish stage, with exchange activities strengthening.
Litecoin: Classic Mirror of Bitcoin Market Cycle
One of Bitcoin’s oldest forks, Litecoin (LTC), has been considered a positive for a broader crypto trend.
Historically, the price correlation of LTCs with BTC has been strong and stable, with an average of between 0.6 and 0.8 over several years.
In the bull market from 2020 to 2021, LTC rose in parallel with Bitcoin breakout, and even in subsequent revisions, movements in that direction remained in alignment. Data from 2023 to 2025 confirm that the correlation remains durable.

The latest correlation chart (July-October 2025) shows that the Spearman coefficient for LTC rose from 0.63 to around 0.72, peaking at 0.76 in late August.
This stable symbiosis reflects Litecoin’s trend to cover Bitcoin’s momentum during macro assembly.
Given the deep liquidity and structural similarity with Bitcoin, if BTC targets $150,000, LTC can ride the wave again.
Historically, LTC has made Bitcoin moves much larger, but amplifies its reliability.
If a Bitcoin is violating $150,000, the historical pattern suggests that these three Altcoins are arranged to rallies with it.
These tokens are not necessarily followers, but are key beneficiaries of the new institutional and retail enthusiasm for BTC.
