XRP price action continues to attract technical attention as longer-term structures resurface on high timeframes. Crypto analyst ChartNerd (ChartNerdTA) shared a chart highlighting a recurring macro formation that spans multiple market cycles.
In his post, he noted that macro fractals take time, and he asked the community to trust the $27 process.
Recurring Fractals and Long-Term Structure
The setup shown spans more than a decade. It maps prior accumulation phases, expansion moves, and consolidation periods. ChartNerd’s work suggests the current phase mirrors earlier cycles that preceded sharp upside continuation. XRP now sits well above its historical baselines, yet remains far below the projected extension levels in the model.
Each prior cycle shows XRP compressing within a symmetrical triangle for an extended period before a rapid ascent. ChartNerd identifies these as macro fractals rather than short-term patterns.
These cycles also collectively form a long-term Elliott Wave pattern. The historic breakout in 2017 formed Wave 3 of the pattern, marking the largest impulse move. The chart shows that XRP has begun wave 5. The asset also broke out of the most recent symmetrical triangle in late 2024, and is now trading within the ascension zone.

Fibonacci Levels Define Upside Zones
Fibonacci extensions play a central role in the analysis. The chart plots historical extensions from earlier cycle lows. The 1.272 extension aligns near $8.44. The 1.618 extension sits near $27.23. These levels correspond with projected wave 5 targets on the chart.
Price recently reclaimed the 1.0 extension near $3.36. It crossed that level in July 2025 when it hit a new all-time high before retracing. The pullback held above the 0.382 retracement around $1.46. XRP now trades near $2.37. That zone sits above key moving averages and prior breakout levels.

In earlier cycles, XRP consolidated above similar retracement levels before resuming higher. The chart suggests the same sequence remains in play, provided structure holds.
What Happens Next?
ChartNerd’s analysis does not assign timing. It focuses on structure completion. Wave 5 remains unfulfilled on the model. Past cycles have shown that final expansion phases typically occur after extended sideways action.
The chart shows that XRP is already in the breakout phase. While momentum has stalled, the analyst expects XRP to resume its upward move soon, eventually reaching the $27 target and completing wave 5.
