According to an analyst, XRP could rise to $27 within about 60 days if it indeed follows the same path it took in 2017. The market expert points out that this token is behaving very similarly to before, and that has some traders closely monitoring it. The setup is quite simple: repeat history, achieve big targets, take profits along the way.

XRP Fractal Movement Reflecting 2017

According to reports, XRP first rose from $0.0055 in March 2017 to $0.3988 in May of that year. Then it cooled off for about six months. In the current price surge, XRP lagged around $0.50 for most of 2023 and early 2024. After the U.S. elections in November 2024, it skyrocketed nearly 600%—from $0.50 to $3.40 in January 2025. Now it has pulled back and is standing still. That pattern looks very similar to what happened eight years ago.

Fibonacci Levels and Profit Points

Analyst Egrag Crypto points out three clear price zones before the big target of $27. The first is $8.49 (Fib 1.272 extension). Next is $13.79 (Fib 1.414). Finally, if the token truly replicates the second wave of 2017—up 1,772%—it will peak near $27. Achieving that in 60 days is a stretch. But the math fits if history truly rhymes. Traders are being asked to take profits along the way rather than waiting for that final number.

Support Lines Hold the Key

He also notes that XRP needs to stay above the 21-week exponential moving average. That line is currently around $2.30. XRP is trading at around $2.33, so it is just slightly above. If the price drops below that moving average, the bullish case starts to wobble. If the price falls below $2.30, sellers may step in and push the price back to tougher support levels, like the $2.00 range or other support bands from on-chain data.

Future Signals and Volume

A new feature comes from CME Group's new XRP futures contracts. They launched in mid-May 2025, and only 1,380 contracts have been traded so far—about $35.8 million in volume compared to XRP's market cap of $138 billion.

It's a small part, and some say it's not very impressive. However, it could be the beginning of broader institutional flow if volumes increase. Tracking that number in the coming weeks may tell us whether big players are getting involved.

Market followers are skeptical about the 1,772% increase over two months. Regulators are still hanging in the balance regarding Ripple's legal status, and overall sentiment about cryptocurrency can change quickly. However, others feel that once XRP surpasses the $2.70 mark—that's the Fib 1.414 level—it will have enough momentum to exceed $3.00 and beyond. Based on all this, a rise to $27 by July 2025 is not out of the question, but it won't be easy.
