XRP Primed for Explosive 500% Surge to $14 as 2017 Bull Pattern Reemerges
History doesn''t repeat, but it often rhymes—and XRP traders are betting heavy on deja vu. A chillingly familiar technical setup suggests Ripple''s embattled token could mirror its legendary 2017 moonshot.
The Ghost of Rallies Past
Chart analysts spot an eerie parallel between today''s consolidation and the coiled-spring formation that preceded XRP''s 61,000% eruption six years ago. Same symmetrical triangle. Same dwindling volume before the breakout. Same skeptics dismissing the comparison—until they''re chasing the pump.
Numbers Don''t Lie (Until They Do)
The 500% projection isn''t plucked from thin air—it''s the measured move from the pattern''s neckline. $14 seems outrageous until you remember this asset once gained 29,000% in 40 days. Of course, past performance guarantees nothing—just ask the ''stablecoin'' investors who learned that the hard way.
Make or Break Territory
All eyes on the $0.55 weekly close. Hold here, and the stage is set for a cascade of liquidations fueling the uptick. Lose it, and we''re back to the regulatory purgatory narrative. Either way, grab popcorn—when XRP moves, it doesn''t do subtle.
After trading sideways for the past few months, XRP might finally be ready for a major breakout — at least that’s what crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto believes.
In a recent tweet, Mikybull compared XRP’s current movement to its historic rally in 2017, suggesting the token could be on the verge of another 500%+ surge, potentially pushing its price as high as $14.
2025 Mirrors 2017 Chart Patterns
Mikybull shared a three-week xrp price chart showing two strikingly similar timeframes, one from 2017, when XRP skyrocketed to its then all-time high of $3.38, and the other from 2025, where the coin seems to be repeating the same triangle consolidation pattern.
In 2017, XRP moved sideways for months before exploding 1,300% in just a few weeks.. If XRP follows the same path, we could see a breakout toward $14, which WOULD mark an impressive rally from its current price of around $2.19.
Ripple Lawsuit Could Be the Kick Start
Interestingly, this pattern is forming while Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC remains in a critical stage. The case, which has dragged on since 2020, is now in a temporary pause until August 15.
Both Ripple and the SEC have submitted a revised settlement motion, but the district court has yet to approve it. As the case ends in Ripple’s favor, it could unlock the next major rally.
On-Chain Metrics Support Bullish Case
Fueling the bullish outlook further, data from Santiment shows a massive spike in XRP’s on-chain activity. Daily active addresses have surged to 295,000, a 7x jump from the three-month average of just 40,000.
Meanwhile, whale accumulation has hit a record high, with over 2,700 wallets now holding at least 1 million XRP — the highest in the token’s 12+ year history.
On the other hand, trading volume also jumped 157% to $5.26 billion, indicating rising investor interest.
