XRP Flashes 2017 Signal, Analysts Eye 10x Rally

• Market analysts identify a “3-month cool-off” pattern in XRP mirroring the late 2017 pre-bull setup.
• The fractal suggests a potential 10x rally, provided XRP holds its macro support structure.
• XRP has rebounded 22% from recent lows, stabilizing above the critical $2.20 level.

A crypto analyst reviewing XRP’s price trend has identified a signal that could lead to a potential 10x rally in the short term. 

In his latest post on X, the analyst revealed that XRP has repeated a pattern similar to its price behavior in 2017, which preceded a gigantic move.

3-Month EMA, the Foundation for a 10x Rally

According to the analyst, XRP had a 3-month cool-off period in 2017 during the historic run before making a 25x rally. The pullback associated with that move saw the cryptocurrency successfully retest the 3-month 20-EMA curve, which served as support for the price.

Using a chart screenshot, the analyst revealed that XRP has repeated the same pattern after eight years. The cryptocurrency pulled back shortly after breaking the 2017 all-time high, before returning to the dynamic support established by the 20-EMA curve.

Considering the observed price action, the analyst predicts a repeat of XRP’s historical behavior. However, he scaled down on his expectations for the cryptocurrency. Unlike the 2017 rally, which delivered a 25x profit, he expects the digital asset to produce about 10x as an average gain from its current price.

XRP Needs to Close Below 20-EMA to Nullify Bullish Appeal

In the meantime, the analyst has factored in XRP’s lower high, which it achieved in 2021. A price level that coincides with both the monthly candle close highs from 2017 and the regulatory suppression by the SEC. 

According to him, XRP needs to close below the 20-EMA, which is around the $1.20 price region, to invalidate his projection.

According to data from TradingView, the top altcoin traded for $2.22 at the time of writing, marking a 22% rebound from the latest pullback, which suggests the retention of bullish momentum. However, the cryptocurrency remains about 40% below its all-time high of $3.66, which it achieved during the last extended run in July 2025.
