A crypto analyst has identified a recurring chart pattern centered on a 173-day cycle that previously preceded a major price expansion for XRP<\/a>. Based on this pattern, the expert suggests that XRP may be approaching a similar price rally if the trend plays out as expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

XRP Historical Pattern Signals Powerful Upside Move<\/h2>\n

A crypto analyst who goes by \u2018Bird\u2019 on X has drawn attention to a recurring pattern on XRP\u2019s daily chart. His analysis compares<\/a> XRP\u2019s current price formation with the pattern that preceded the 2025 breakout, highlighting a nearly identical time cycle and chart structure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the left side of the chart, Bird noted that it took about 173 days for XRP to break after reaching its first major top in 2025<\/a>. This period is clearly marked by vertical blue lines on the chart and shows price moving within a descending wedge pattern<\/a>. Notably, each price rally was lower than the previous one, while support levels remained relatively stable. Trading volume during that phase also hovered around $1.8 billion, suggesting that the breakout developed under steady market participation rather than thin liquidity<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the right side of the chart, which shows XRP\u2019s price action in the current market cycle<\/a>, Bird points to a similar pattern forming. Since the July 2025 peak, XRP has spent about 173 days moving sideways within a descending wedge. Compared to the past cycle, trading volume<\/a> has been much lower, averaging around $1 billion. However, the pattern\u2019s shape and timing closely match past trends.<\/p>\n

Bird notes that XRP has not broken down despite months of severe downward pressure<\/a>. Instead of falling below key support levels, the price has been squeezed into a tighter range within the same descending wedge pattern. It also held near the $1.94 level as it approached the tip of the wedge. The analyst stated that this move shows the market is not moving sideways at random but is entering a late-stage compression<\/a> before a larger upward move.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If historical trends hold, Bird has predicted that XRP could surge to between $4 and $4.5. With the cryptocurrency currently trading around $1.87, this would represent a surge of more than 113%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Analyst Predicts 2017 XRP Price Explosion In 2026<\/h2>\n

Despite XRP\u2019s recent crash<\/a> below $1.9, analysts still believe its price could recover and launch a strong rally. A recent analysis by market expert Steph is Crypto reflects this optimistic outlook.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his post on X, Steph is Crypto predicted<\/a> that XRP could be on the verge of a price explosion similar to the one in 2017. At the time, the cryptocurrency recorded a powerful rally, jumping from around $0.005 to more than $0.25. If this same trend repeats, the analyst forecasts a breakout from around $2 to above $22.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
