XRP is displaying market behavior that mirrors its performance leading up to the 2017 rally. Chart analysis reveals two major contracting patterns in XRP’s trading history.
The first pattern occurred between 2014 and 2017. The second extends from 2018 through 2025. Both formations created symmetrical or descending triangles.
These triangles form when price swings gradually narrow over time. The patterns typically show periods where buyers and sellers remain cautious before volatility expands.
During the 2014-2017 cycle, XRP experienced a false breakdown below its lower trendline. This move trapped sellers temporarily and created a liquidity grab. The false breakdown triggered a sharp reversal that led to the 2017 bull run.
$XRP's level of pursuit, after displaying a highly identical breakout to 2017, can be to and above the $15 levels!

The current structure from 2018 to 2025 shows similar characteristics. The formation has captured approximately 2,605 days of price action. The cryptocurrency appears to have completed a multi-year accumulation phase.
XRP briefly dipped below its curved support before rebounding. This suggests long-term buyers are entering at key levels. Analyst EGRAG CRYPTO noted that previous instances of this behavior triggered rallies.

XRP currently trades within a tightening symmetrical triangle around $2.05. Price action has been compressing between converging trendlines for several weeks. Each swing is becoming progressively smaller as the asset approaches a potential breakout point.

The pattern shows a descending resistance line formed by lower highs. An ascending support line has been built from higher lows. XRP has been bouncing between roughly $2.18 and $1.98.
Recent trading shows XRP testing both boundaries without committing to either direction. Volume has dried up as the price range shrinks. This late-stage compression is typical triangle behavior before the next move.
Chart projections suggest the pattern could deliver a 16% move once price breaks out of this consolidation zone. Traders are watching the $2.10 area closely. Any dips back toward the lower trendline will likely determine which direction the breakout unfolds.
Analyst JAVONMARKS highlighted that XRP could target $15 or higher if historical patterns repeat. This represents a possible gain of over 600% from current levels. Projection charts suggest a hypothetical move toward $16 to $17.
These targets assume the market mirrors the past cycle’s behavior. While these figures are not formal predictions, they indicate XRP may be positioned for a substantial rally once a breakout occurs.
The structure of support and resistance arcs shows gradual compression in volatility. Over time, price swings have narrowed. This compression is typical of long-term accumulation phases in major cryptocurrencies.
This compression often comes before sudden and strong directional moves. The pattern reinforces the potential for upside movement.
XRP is currently trading in a narrowing range with tightening volatility and chart patterns suggesting a potential breakout in the coming weeks.
