Historical Patterns Suggest Strong Upside
Crypto analyst EGRAG highlights a recurring pattern in XRP’s long-term chart that has previously preceded explosive price rallies. In 2017, XRP jumped from $0.40 to over $3 in just six months. A similar setup unfolded in 2021 when the token surged from $0.79 to $1.96 after an initial peak.

According to EGRAG, 2025 may be following the same script. XRP climbed to $3.40 in January after recovering from $0.50 in 2024. The coin has since consolidated around $3, echoing earlier phases of past cycles. If the pattern repeats, XRP could form a second wave of growth around September 2025, potentially skyrocketing by 777% toward $28.
Bearish Concerns from Martinez
Not all analysts share this bullish view. Ali Martinez warns that XRP faces critical resistance levels. Unless the price breaks above $3.30 soon, he believes the token could face a decline. His projections place the downside risk near $2.60, with a worst-case scenario pushing the asset as low as $2. That would represent a steep 33% loss from current levels.
Martinez emphasizes that only a decisive breakout above $3.30 could confirm the start of another rally. Without that confirmation, investors may face significant downside risk.
Can XRP Reach $28?
While EGRAG’s analysis of historical cycles offers hope, a surge to $28 would give XRP a market cap exceeding $1.5 trillion—an ambitious target in the current environment. For this projection to materialize, both market sentiment and broader adoption of Ripple’s ecosystem would need to accelerate significantly.
The divergence in analyst opinions highlights the uncertainty surrounding XRP’s path. Optimists point to historical precedent, while skeptics stress the difficulty of sustaining such a massive rally. Investors are left weighing whether history will repeat itself or if the market has already priced in much of the upside.
