Expert Says XRP Poised for Major Breakout to $12.50. Here’s when

XRP has long been a subject of market speculation, especially after its historic run in late 2024 and early 2025.

A prominent crypto analyst, JackTheRippler (@RippleXrpie), recently highlighted a possible repeat of XRP’s 2017 price surge, suggesting it could be on the verge of a major breakout to $12.50.

In 2017, XRP experienced a significant rally, beginning with a steady rise before accelerating into a parabolic uptrend. The price chart from that period shows a strong breakout above key moving averages, followed by substantial gains that ultimately led to XRP’s all-time high of $3.84 in January 2018.

This historic movement is now being compared to the current price action, which, according to analysts, follows a strikingly similar pattern.

The Current Market Setup for XRP

The latest price chart for XRP suggests that it is replicating the structure of its 2017 rally. The analyst points out that XRP has recently completed a consolidation phase, marked by a breakout above the 200-day moving average (MA200) and the 50-day moving average (MA50).

This technical setup and rising momentum indicators fuel speculation that XRP could experience another parabolic rally in the coming weeks. The decline in early February also caused XRP to dip below the MA50, a crucial event that occurred in 2017 before a brief consolidation before the price surge continuation.

Another key indicator supporting this outlook is the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has shown a pattern similar to 2017. A period of lower highs in the RSI preceded a breakout, aligning with the start of XRP’s explosive move in the previous cycle.

With current RSI readings reflecting this historical trend, JackTheRippler believes that XRP could be preparing for a major upside move.

XRP Projected Price Target of $12.50

According to JackTheRippler, if XRP follows the same trajectory as in 2017, it could see a surge of approximately 360%, pushing the price from its current level of $2.65 to $12.50. The chart projection suggests a steep upward curve, indicating a rapid price increase once a breakout is confirmed.

However, while historical patterns provide valuable insights, they do not guarantee future performance. Another prominent analyst recently showed a break between XRP’s current market movements and its 2017 performance.

He believes XRP has broken the fractal, and is no longer following 2017’s lead, but charting its path. The asset’s performance over the next few weeks will be a must-see, as its next steps will determine what pattern it follows.
