According to recent chart work and on-chain checks, some XRP backers say the token may be gearing up for another big move. Analysts who track past cycles point to patterns that played out in 2017 and 2018 and say similar moves could follow now. Related Reading: From $2 Trillion To $400T? CEO Sees Bitcoin Exploding 200x – Here’s More XRP Repeats Past Price Cycle Reports have disclosed that XRP broke a long downtrend in March 2017, running from about $0.0055 to roughly $0.40 by May 2017. After that first surge, the token cooled and traded sideways for around six months before shooting to $3.31 in January 2018. According to EtherNasyonal’s charts, the market then entered a long decline and another accumulation phase. One key detail the analyst highlights is the monthly RSI action: it climbed to about 95 during the first run, fell to roughly 68 in the re-accumulation, then topped 90 during the second leg. These RSI moves are used to argue that the market has room to charge again. $XRP mega cycle is coming.

After that push, the token consolidated for roughly six months, which some call a re-accumulation phase. XRP Mega Cycle About To Detonate???? $XRP isn’t dead — it’s loading.

(@RipBullWinkle) September 18, 2025 EtherNasyonal and other community analysts say XRP has cleared that setup and is poised for the next upward wave. They point to a current 1-month RSI near 68 as a sign of cooling before another possible spike above 90. The bullish price target being tossed around is $10. One community voice summed it up bluntly: “XRP is not dead; it’s loading.” 538,586 wallets on XRPL have exactly 20 XRP 20 XRP was the minimum reserve from 2013 to 2021. That’s 10.7 million XRP sitting in these wallets. — Dr. Artur Kirjakulov (@Kirjakulov) September 17, 2025 On-Chain Numbers And Wallet Behavior Meanwhile, data from XPMarket’s co-founder Dr. Artur Kirjakulov shows that up to 538,586 XRPL wallets hold 20 XRP each. At a price around $3.1, that 20 XRP equals about $62 per wallet. Related Reading: FalconX Moves 413K Solana Worth $98M – Impact On SOL Price Those numbers account for about 7.64% of all XRPL wallets, with the ledger now reporting 7,048,872 total addresses. Reports say nearly 11 million XRP appear to sit idle across many of these wallets. That figure is often cited to make the case for constrained supply if more coins stop circulating. Meantime, Ripple Bull Winkle and other supporters point to regulatory clarity, new infrastructure work by Ripple, and the arrival of XRP ETFs as forces that could help price.

The XRP price is showing signs of repeating a past price pattern that once led to a strong rally. According to crypto analyst Egrag Crypto, this setup suggests a move higher in the weeks ahead. To back the bullish case, the token is currently holding its ground above support areas. Traders across the market are now waiting to see if this pattern develops into another upward move. Analyst Spots Bullish Fractal Formation In XRP Price Chart Egrag Crypto has been studying the XRP price chart and points to what he calls a repeating fractal formation. In this case, the current price structure with the yellow fractal of XRP resembles one seen before a strong rally in the past. It indicates that the token price has been fluctuating within a narrow range for some time. Related Reading: Pundit Shares ‘XRP Endgame’: What To Watch Out For With Ripple This type of price action often suggests that the market is building pressure, and according to him, XRP is getting ready for the next move. If XRP continues to follow this fractal, the token could break through resistance levels, confirming the bullish trend. These resistance points are at $3.91 and $5.56. This sideways trading has built a stable base on the chart, and the fractal points to the next move possibly starting soon. XRP Price Targets $6–$7 By Mid-November Based on this fractal setup, Egrag Crypto projects that XRP could trade between $6 and $7 by mid-November 2025. Such a move would mean the token more than doubles in value from its current level. A rise of over 100% in such a short period would bring renewed attention to XRP and could signal the start of a broader rally across the crypto market. The $6 to $7 target zone is the key part of his bullish outlook, marking a possible turning point for XRP. Related Reading: Market Expert Says XRP Price At $1,000 Will Happen, But The Timeline Is Different Currently, XRP is valued at $3.03, marking modest but steady growth. Over the past 24 hours, it has gained around 2.57%. Over the past week, the token has increased by 3.21%, and on the monthly chart, it has added 3.3%. With the rise in XRP markets, adding more strength, showing that buyers are gradually pushing the price higher. This constant build often prepares the way for bigger moves if the buying continues. According to the analysis, if XRP is to keep moving in a bullish direction, staying above the $2 support area is essential. If XRP maintains this base, it makes the fractal projection of $6 to $7 by mid-November much more likely. Analysts often point to support levels as foundations for rallies, and in this case, the $2 price level could serve as the platform that launches the token toward its projected price range of $6 to $7.
