XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger, has experienced significant price volatility throughout 2023 and 2024. While currently trading below the $0.50 mark, some analysts believe a technical breakout and subsequent price increase could be imminent.
One such analyst, Cryptobilbuwoo, has identified historical trends on the XRP/Bitcoin (XRPBTC) weekly chart that suggests a potential price surge for XRP. The XRPBTC ratio reflects XRP’s performance relative to Bitcoin. When the ratio increases, it signifies that the digital asset is outperforming Bitcoin, and vice versa.
Echoes of 2017: A Bullish Reversal in the Making?
Cryptobilbuwoo highlights a recurring pattern on the XRPBTC chart, particularly the one observed in 2017. This pattern involved a downtrend in the ratio, followed by a surge, a correction, and another significant increase.
Specifically, in March 2017, the XRPBTC ratio reached a low of 0.00000476. Subsequently, XRP significantly outperformed Bitcoin, with the ratio climbing a staggering 5,055% to 0.0002454 by May 2017. After a period of correction, the ratio rose again in January 2018, coinciding with XRP reaching its all-time high of $3.31.
Current Market Conditions and Potential Rebound
Interestingly, the XRPBTC chart currently exhibits a similar sequence of technical indicators observed in 2017. This includes a downtrend in the ratio, potentially signaling an impending breakout and reversal. Cryptobilbuwoo anticipates a breakout from this downtrend, followed by a correction similar to the historical pattern.
Projecting a parallel to the 2017 price movement, he expects a subsequent surge that could propel the XRPBTC ratio to 0.0006040. Given Bitcoin’s current price of $61,000, such a scenario would translate to an XRP price of approximately $36.6.
It’s important to note that Bitcoin’s price will likely fluctuate, potentially leading to an even higher XRP price at the projected ratio.

Supporting the Bullish Outlook
This bullish prediction for XRP aligns with the recent analysis by market analyst Tylie Eric. Eric argues that XRP has met the necessary technical conditions to reach $36. Notably, the Commodity Channel Index (CCI), a technical indicator for oversold or overbought conditions, currently positions XRP at -126. This suggests that XRP might be oversold, potentially priming it for a price rebound.
While the cryptocurrency market remains volatile, technical analysis suggests a potential breakout for XRP. Analysts point to historical chart patterns and oversold indicators as evidence for a possible price surge. If these predictions materialize, XRP could experience a significant increase in the coming months.
However, it’s crucial to remember that cryptocurrency markets are inherently unpredictable, and investors should conduct thorough research before making any financial decisions.
