According to an analyst, XRP could jump to $27 within about 60 days if it really does follow the same path it took back in 2017. The market expert points out that the token is acting a lot like it did before, and that has some traders watching closely. The setup is simple: repeat history, hit big targets, cash out along the way.
XRP Fractal Moves Mirror 2017
Based on reports, XRP first climbed from $0.0055 in March 2017 to $0.3988 by May of that year. Then it cooled off for roughly six months. In its current run, XRP lagged around $0.50 through most of 2023 and into early 2024. After the US elections in November 2024, it shot up nearly 600%—from $0.50 to $3.40 by January 2025. Now it’s pulled back and is sitting still. That pattern looks a lot like what happened eight years ago.

If #XRP is repeating the last section or pattern from October 2017, we might be on the brink of a major breakout soon!

Fibonacci Levels And Profit Marks
Analyst Egrag Crypto pinpoints three clear price zones before the big $27 goal. First is $8.49 (the 1.272 Fib extension). Next sits at $13.79 (1.414 Fib). Finally, if the token truly repeats 2017’s second wave—a 1,772% surge—it would top out near $27. To get there in 60 days is a stretch. But the math lines up if history really does rhyme. Traders are being told to book gains along the way instead of 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 around $2.30 right now. XRP trades at about $2.33, so it’s only just ahead. If price dips under that moving average, the bullish case starts to wobble. A drop below $2.30 could see sellers step in and push it back toward tougher floors, like the $2.00 zone or other support bands from on-chain data.
#XRP is about to enter one of the most important moments in its history.
Imagine holding 5589 XRP before the market explodes.

Futures And Volume Signals
A fresh wrinkle comes from CME Group’s new XRP futures contracts. They went live in mid-May 2025, and only 1,380 contracts have traded so far—roughly $35.8 million in volume against XRP’s $138 billion market cap.
hilarious that only 1,380 contracts of the new XRP futures traded on CME since launching over a week ago
1 contract value is $24k, so only $35.8mm USD market value traded in a week (~$5MM/day)… on a $138bn Market Cap/$233bn FDV token? over half of the volume is probably market… pic.twitter.com/xYavBXnDXO

That’s a tiny fraction, and some say it’s underwhelming. Yet it could be the start of wider institutional flows if volume picks up. Watching that number in the coming weeks may tell us if big players are stepping in.
Market watchers have doubts about a 1,772% move in two months. Regulators still have Ripple’s legal standing hanging in the air, and broader crypto sentiment can shift fast. Yet others feel that once XRP clears $2.70—that’s the 1.414 Fib level—it will have enough momentum to push past $3.00 and beyond. Based on all this, a move to $27 by July 2025 is not off the table, but it won’t be easy.
