XRP may be gearing up for one of its most explosive moves yet, according to a new analysis from ChartNerd. In a recent post on X, the respected chartist pointed to a textbook bull flag pattern forming on the XRP chart, one of the most trusted bullish setups in technical analysis.
Based on this formation, ChartNerd predicts a breakout that could send XRP soaring to $17, with a longer-term target of $27.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.07, according to CoinMarketCap data. A surge to $17 would represent a 451% increase, while the $27 target implies nearly 780% upside. While these projections are ambitious, they’re rooted in historical chart behavior and a pattern with a strong track record in trending markets.
The Bull Flag Pattern Behind the Prediction
A bull flag pattern forms when a sharp rally, known as the flagpole, is followed by a brief period of sideways or slightly downward price consolidation, which makes up the flag. When the price breaks out above the flag’s resistance with convincing volume, it often signals the next leg up.

In XRP’s case, the flagpole began during its sustained rally from around $2.00 in late 2024 to a local high of $3.64 earlier this month. Since then, the price has pulled back modestly, ranging between $3.00 and $3.25, creating the consolidation zone. ChartNerd highlights this as one of the cleanest flag formations in the market right now, projecting the next breakout level around $3.25–$3.30.
If that breakout holds, the measured move from the flag structure points directly to $17. Should bullish momentum continue beyond that, ChartNerd sees a realistic path toward $27 levels XRP has never reached before.
A Pattern With Proven Reliability
The bull flag pattern is far from speculative. A 2021 study in Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities found that bull flags have a 70% success rate in bullish markets. Additionally, a 2018 report from the Journal of Finance supports the pattern’s effectiveness, especially when paired with rising volume and strong market sentiment, both of which are evident in XRP’s current setup.

Sentiment, Regulation, and XRP’s Broader Outlook
This technical strength is also supported by broader market trends. Earlier this month, U.S. lawmakers passed the Digital Markets Clarity Act and the GENIUS Act, two key crypto bills that promise clearer regulatory frameworks for digital assets like XRP. Investors responded positively, with XRP briefly spiking to $3.64 before pulling back.
Ripple, the company behind XRP, continues to expand its influence. With the successful launch of its RLUSD stablecoin and growing adoption of the XRP Ledger in global finance, the asset’s long-term use case is becoming increasingly clear. Even after a short-lived drop to $2.96 earlier this week, triggered by over $40 million in liquidations, XRP rebounded quickly, reinforcing bullish conviction.
Final Thoughts
ChartNerd’s projection of XRP reaching $17, and possibly $27, is backed by one of the most reliable patterns in technical trading. With the price consolidating above key support and momentum beginning to build again, the breakout scenario appears to be gaining traction.
If XRP clears the $3.25 resistance zone with volume, it could mark the beginning of a powerful upward move. While nothing is guaranteed in crypto markets, the technical setup, improving sentiment, and favorable regulatory landscape all point to one conclusion: XRP is at a critical turning point, and the next move could be historic.
