Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) has shared a detailed chart comparison suggesting XRP may be on the verge of a significant upward move. In a recent post on X, he pointed out striking similarities between XRP’s current price action in 2025 and its behavior in 2017, shortly before its historic rally. The side-by-side chart shows XRP from 2017 and 2025, each time nearing a convergence between the price, the 50-day simple moving average (white line), and the 200-day simple moving average (blue line). The price hovered near a neckline level before a sharp breakout in both cases. In 2017, once XRP’s price crossed above that level, it recorded gains of 50x within a few months, reaching its all-time high of $3.84 in January 2018. THE MOST INSANE #XRP BUY SIGNAL IS FLASHING! But nobody seems to care…. pic.twitter.com/YjZYYmN4fR — STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) May 11, 2025 Price Compression Mirrors Pre-Breakout Structure Steph linked to an Instagram video where he expanded on his analysis. While some analysts believe XRP has broken away from the 2017 fractal , Steph is Crypto argues that the current formation reflects a nearly identical structure, noting that the asset is trading very close to the neckline of the previous autumn high. In 2017, the breakout occurred shortly after the price interacted with this key area, which was again tested in 2025.

The 2025 chart, as of May, shows XRP consolidating around the same type of structure, with prices hovering near $2 and moving averages continuing to trend upward. The asset already tested the moving average, but the breakout was not decisive enough to kickstart a surge. However, this setup suggests that more tests could give XRP the momentum it needs for the next bull run. $100 Target Tied to Historical Fractal Steph further suggested that XRP’s price could potentially exceed $100 this year if history repeats with similar momentum. Another well-known analyst shared a similar analysis some months ago, showing XRP repeating its 2017 price movements and suggesting that the asset will climb to $100 . XRP is currently trading at $2.36, and a 50x increase would send the digital asset to $118, a new all-time high, and a level many never thought possible. Market Reaction Remains Muted Despite the bold prediction and visual evidence presented, Steph said, “Nobody seems to care.” The current sentiment in the XRP community remains cautious due to recent consolidation, and the broader market’s attention is focused elsewhere. This trend suggests many investors will miss out on life-changing profits, as experts have previously predicted that 95% of investors will lose money during XRP’s next bull run.
