XRP Primed for $7 Surge as Analyst Flips Bullish—Wall Street Skeptics Start Side-Eyeing Their Spreadsheets

XRP’s price trajectory just got a rocket boost from analysts betting big on a $7 target. Forget ’slow and steady’—this crypto’s gearing up to punch through resistance like a hot knife through regulatory butter.

Technical charts show a textbook breakout pattern, while trading volume spikes suggest institutions are quietly accumulating. Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists are suddenly developing ’XRP curiosity.’

The kicker? This rally would require only a 10x move from current levels—chump change in crypto land, where dog-themed coins routinely moon on meme magic. Just don’t tell the suits in Greenwich who still think blockchain is an Excel function.

XRP Builds On Bitcoin Rally

Based on reports, the rally began when bitcoin broke through key resistance near $100,000. XRP followed suit by rising from around $0.50 in late 2024 to about $3.30 by January 2025. That was a gain of over 500%. Since February 2025, XRP has moved sideways around $2.40. Some traders see this as a quiet pause before the next leap. Others warn that holding a narrow range can trap buyers in false breakouts.

Parabolic Run May Set Stage

According to crypto analyst Mags, known as “the scalping pro,” this sideways action mirrors the 2017 cycle. Back then, XRP shot up from $0.0055 in March 2017 to $0.3988 in a parabolic phase. After six months of calm, the altcoin blasted to $3.40 in what he calls a blow‑off top. Now,

The current consolidation looks similar to what we saw back in 2017-18 before the blow off top.

Mags expects history to echo again. He predicts an ultimate price of $7.30, about 200% above today’s levels. His chart outlines four stages per cycle: first bounce, accumulation, parabolic climb, then blow‑off top.

Based on reports from analyst Ali Martinez, there’s another setup in play. He points to a multi‑year symmetrical triangle that ran from January 2018 to November 2024. XRP broke out of that pattern when it surged toward $2 after the US elections last year.

Martinez figures the measured move from the triangle could push XRP to $15. That WOULD be a 520% jump from $2.40. He adds that the current pullback may simply be the consolidation phase after the breakout.

XRP’s biggest peak, according to CoinCodex, came on January 4, 2018, when it hit $3.92, and its deepest drop was on July 7, 2014, at just $0.002802. After that all-time high, the token fell to a cycle low of $0.113268 before climbing back up to a cycle high of $3.38. Right now, most price forecasts for XRP are upbeat, and the market’s Fear & Greed Index sits at 70—solidly in the “Greed” zone.
