Analysts are predicting an explosive surge in XRP&#8217;s price this year, comparing 
the current cycle to the 2017 bull market. According to a recent forecast, 
XRP’s chart structure is replicating the bullish patterns that preceded its 
historic 2017 rally. Experts believe that if this historical trend plays out 
perfectly, the XRP price, which has been trending downward for months now, 
could go parabolic. XRP Price Mirrors Bull Setup From 2017 Rally @Cryptocupra, 
a market analyst on X, is sounding the alarm about a major bullish move he 
believes could soon take place in XRP&#8217;s price. In a video analysis shared on 
May 4, the expert forecast that XRP could soon go parabolic, citing historical 
chart patterns from the 2017 cycle. Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP 
Price Will Be If It Repeats The 2017 Surge The analyst drew comparisons 
between XRP’s price action in 2026 and its movements in 2017. According to 
@Cryptocupra, XRP is currently displaying the exact structure and setup that 
had led to its parabolic rally in 2017. At the time, the cryptocurrency was 
trading around $0.006. However, it broke out of lower levels and rallied, 
extending its bullish run until it hit an all-time high above $3.84 in 2018. 
@Cryptocupra’s video chart further shows that in 2017, XRP broke out of a 
descending triangle pattern before launching into a rally. The chart shows 
that XRP had been trending downward for months inside this narrow triangle 
before breaking out to the upside. @Cryptocupra reveals that this same 
triangle pattern has appeared in the 2026 cycle, reinforcing his bullish 
outlook for XRP this year. The chart shows that after the cryptocurrency 
surged above $3.5 in 2025, it began to trend downward and eventually formed a 
descending triangle. Since then, XRP has been trading in the red, steadily 
declining even as other cryptocurrencies surged. Notably, if XRP can break out 
as it did in 2017, @Cryptocupra believes its price could surge, turning many 
holders into millionaires. He predicted that all that’s left is a final 
shakeout before a trend reversal to the upside begins, triggering the 
projected price explosion. Analyst Says XRP At $10-$20 Still On The Table In a 
separate analysis, market expert Crypto Patel forecasted that XRP’s potential 
rally toward the $10 to $20 range was “absolutely” still on the table. Despite 
the cryptocurrency currently trading around $1.4 after months of decline and 
muted price action, the analyst maintains a solid bullish outlook, citing past 
price performance and achievements. Related Reading: Analyst Shares ‘Realistic 
Stance’ For XRP, But Is It The End Of The Road? He noted that despite market 
participants calling XRP a dead coin in 2023, the cryptocurrency jumped from 
$0.006 in 2017 to over $3 in 2018. He said that XRP also skyrocketed from 
$0.50 in November 2024 to over $2.60 in just 30 days. As a result, Crypto 
Patel believes that a surge to $10 is closer than ever, highlighting a 
critical accumulation zone between $0.70 and $1.10 for XRP. He believes that 
this parabolic rally will likely be fueled by the cryptocurrency’s underlying 
network, which he says is 1,000x faster than Bitcoin, 99% cheaper than 
Ethereum, and already being used by global banks. Featured image from iStock,
