XRP Mimics 2017 Fractal, Trader Predicts Price in 90 Days

Double-digit price predictions for XRP are back in the spotlight as some analysts suggest the asset may be repeating its historic 2017 price pattern.

The outlook has raised expectations of a dramatic breakout in the coming months, as the coin surged 8% over the past week. Notably, XRP is trading at $1.44, its highest price in three weeks. Amid the ongoing bullish momentum, market watchers are drawing parallels with historical patterns.

Key Points

• XRP mirrors its 2017 fractal, with traders eyeing a potential breakout toward $32 in 90 days.
• The coin is up 8% weekly, trading near $1.44, its highest level in three weeks.
• Analyst CryptoCupra says XRP’s current consolidation pattern resembles its explosive 2017 rally setup.
• Skeptics argue past fractal predictions haven’t worked, while XRP must first reclaim $2–$3 resistance.

Chart Signals Echo 2017 Breakout Setup

Notably, a veteran trader known as CryptoCupra on X pointed out that XRP’s current structure closely mirrors its 2017 fractal. Based on this setup, the analyst believes the token could rally to as high as $32 within the next 90 days if history repeats.

The shared chart shows XRP moving through a long period of sideways consolidation, followed by what appears to be the early stages of a vertical breakout. He claims this is similar to its explosive move in late 2017.

Back then, XRP engineered its biggest price breakout in history after a prolonged accumulation phase. Although it has been nine years since that historic run and much has changed in the XRP ecosystem, analysts like CryptoCupra continue to forecast future XRP price movements based on the 2017 pattern.

Notably, a few analysts in the XRP community believe this legendary structure is no longer relevant. At the same time, others continue to draw inspiration from it.

Community Reactions

Community members reacting to CryptoCupra’s post expressed skepticism toward the bullish prediction. X user @Travislc909 remarked that it would be nice if the analyst were right, with the $30 prediction coming to pass. However, he noted that he has seen this “fractal” overlaid on XRP’s chart for years now, and it has never played out.

Similarly, X user @PruferCrypto lamented that for years it has been the same rhetoric and the same result, as analysts keep pushing bold price predictions that never materialize.

The Road to $30 XRP

Notably, at the current price of $1.44, XRP would need to surge 2,122% to reach $32. This price would give XRP a market cap of nearly $2 trillion. Despite how ambitious the outlook is, CryptoCupra gives a three-month timeline for it to materialize.

Prominent XRP analyst Amonyx even remarked that $32 would not be a prediction but a warning should XRP follow the 2017 pattern. The statement suggests $32 may be a starting point for a larger price surge.

If this 2017 fractal actually plays out… $32 $XRP won’t be a prediction, it’ll be a warning. Are you ready? 👀 https://t.co/P2vcXenpSj

For context, throughout 2017 to January 2018, XRP delivered a roughly 700x price increase. While it had humble beginnings then, repeating such a move now that it is a $90 billion cryptocurrency could be far more challenging. This is why some critics call such bold predictions unrealistic.

At the moment, the challenge for XRP is to reclaim $2 and $3, and then proceed to set a new all-time high.
