XRP Price Prediction 2026: 2017’s Bull Run Pattern Hints at Explosive Growth

History doesn't repeat—but it sure loves a remix. XRP's 2017 parabolic rally left jaws on the floor, and now the charts whisper about a potential sequel.

The Setup: Mirror Movements

That textbook cup-and-handle formation from eight years ago? It's flashing deja vu signals across trading screens. When XRP broke resistance back then, it skyrocketed 36,000% in under 60 days. Traders are watching the same key levels like hawks circling prey.

The Wildcards: Regulation & Real-World Use

Ripple's courtroom wins cleared regulatory fog—mostly. But let's be real: institutional adoption moves slower than a banker's golf swing. If actual utility (not just speculation) kicks in? Game changer.

The Bottom Line: Math vs. Momentum

Technical patterns suggest a trajectory that'd make Bitcoin blush. Of course, this is crypto—where 'fundamentals' often lose to herd mentality. Just ask the hedge fund managers still salty about missing the 2017 boat.

XRP Price Prediction For 2026

A new technical analysis by X (formerly Twitter) market expert Egrag crypto suggests that XRP has yet to see its biggest breakout. The trajectory of the analyst’s chart mirrors the same technical path that XRP followed before hitting its 2018 peak and current all-time high of $3.84. 

Egrag Crypto highlights that XRP is on the verge of an explosive rally that may extend into 2026, with current market behavior echoing the conditions and buildup that preceded its 2017 breakout. Notably, the analyst’s price chart shows that the XRP monthly candle structure went through six candles of consolidation before it launched into a parabolic rise in late 2017. Now, the cryptocurrency has consolidated for seven monthly candles, highlighted by the green triangle in the chart. 

If the eight completes, the analyst expects a dramatic “KABOOM phase” to follow—one that could propel XRP to price levels not seen before. The bullish projections point to a possible blow-off top somewhere between $22 and $27, aligning with the highest blue arc on the chart. Currently, XRP is trading at $2.15, meaning a surge to $27 WOULD represent a whopping 1,156% in less than two years. 

With July 2025 highlighted as the potential trigger month, Egrag Crypto believes that the breakout could extend its momentum toward the end of 2025 and peak in 2026. The formation, known as the RGB Arcs, presents a visual roadmap of this projected bullish path—reinforcing the possibility that XRP is preparing to repeat history—only bigger.

XRP To Reach $4 Before $27 Target

In his analysis, Egrag Crypto’s chart spanned from 2013 through 2017, connecting XRP’s peaks to a series of colored parabolic curves. The red arcs in the chart represented the macro support line, while the green arc marked historical resistance levels—reached in 2018, and now projected for 2025-2026. 

Notably, the analyst predicts that XRP’s first breakout zone lies between $4 and $5. Once this target is hit, the cryptocurrency is expected to MOVE into the upper green and blue arcs, positioning it for a stronger surge toward the forecasted $27 peak. 

Egrag Crypto has described this initial target as a measured move, where the final outcome is solely based on historical price patterns rather than pure speculation. He urges the broader XRP community to remain strong and patient until the cryptocurrency progresses toward these levels.
