A 65,900% price surge. That&#8217;s what followed the last time XRP touched the 
trendline it&#8217;s sitting on right now — back in 2017, when the token was trading 
at less than a penny. Related Reading: Bitcoin Eyes $90K As Bears Get Burned 
Again Amid $30B Open Interest Surge Pattern Repeats At Key Support Market 
analyst Mikkybull flagged the development this week, pointing to a multi-year 
ascending parallel channel that has shaped XRP&#8217;s price movement since its 
early days. The channel has three trendlines running in parallel — lower, 
middle, and upper. XRP has now dropped to the lower trendline for only the 
third time in its history, a level Mikkybull describes as critical because of 
what has followed each of the previous two touches. The first came in February 
2017, when XRP fell to $0.0050. Within roughly a year, the price climbed to 
$3.31 — a rise of over 65,000%. The second retest happened in November 2024, 
when XRP slid toward $0.50. From there, the token rallied to $3.40 by January 
2025, a gain of about 500% in three months. Reports indicate that rally was 
partly driven by optimism surrounding US President Donald Trump&#8217;s election 
victory. $XRP is on a critical level that usually triggers a strong rebound

MikybullCrypto (@MikybullCrypto) May 7, 2026 Now XRP sits at approximately 
$1.38, having slipped from a recent high of $1.4567 following a broader market 
pullback. Bitcoin, which had briefly reclaimed $82,000, pulled back to around 
$79,700 in the same period. Altcoins followed. $12 Target Emerges From Channel 
Math Based on Mikkybull&#8217;s chart analysis, a recovery from the current level 
could send XRP toward $12 — a figure that represents the midpoint value within 
the ascending channel. That would mark a new all-time high for the asset, 
surpassing the $3.60 record set in January 2025, and would require a gain of 
roughly 760% from where XRP trades today. For that move to begin, XRP first 
needs to break above a descending trendline that has capped its price since 
January. The token has been trending downward within that structure for 
months, and Mikkybull says clearing that resistance is the trigger for any 
meaningful upside. Related Reading: Altcoins Aren’t Going Anywhere — Even 
After Brutal Crashes: Arthur Hayes A second analyst, Myles G, added weight to 
the bullish case from a different angle. According to his analysis, XRP has 
been forming a symmetrical triangle over the course of several months and is 
approaching a breakout point. He wrote simply that XRP is &#8220;about to launch.&#8221; 
Two Analysts, One Directional Call The timing of both analyses is not 
coincidental. XRP dropped 2.50% on Thursday, May 7 — its steepest single-day 
fall in nearly three weeks — before steadying near current levels. That dip is 
what pushed the price back into contact with the lower channel trendline 
Mikkybull has been tracking. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from
