XRP Price Could Soar Like in 2017, Say Analysts
The price of XRP might be about to take off. A crypto analyst known as the “Charting Guy” on X (formerly Twitter) says XRP is repeating a pattern from its huge 2017 bull run — and that could mean a big rally is coming soon.
XRP/BTC Chart Looks Just Like 2017
On July 7, the Charting Guy shared an analysis of the XRP/BTC (XRP vs. Bitcoin) trading chart. He showed that the current price movement looks very similar to the 2017 XRP bull run. The pattern (called a “fractal”) matches almost exactly in both timing and shape.
This same pattern has already correctly predicted highs in December and January — right on time. In early 2025, the XRP/BTC price moved sideways, just like it did in 2017. Then, in August, it suddenly broke out upward — again, just like before.
If the same pattern continues, XRP might now be entering the “parabolic” phase, where the price could rise very fast — like it did in the last months of 2017.
Although this doesn’t guarantee exact prices, the similarity in structure and timing suggests XRP could gain a lot against Bitcoin in the near future. The Charting Guy recommends traders watch closely in the coming months.
XRP Might Outperform Bitcoin
In another post, the Charting Guy shared analysis from Matt Hughes, another crypto expert. Both experts believe XRP is looking strong against Bitcoin and the US dollar (USD).
On the charts, XRP is approaching an important resistance level — the top of the Ichimoku Cloud (a technical indicator). In both XRP/BTC and XRP/USD charts, the price is right at the edge of this “cloud,” which could signal a breakout.
If XRP can break above this level, analysts believe it could start a new upward trend, with the potential for big gains.
