Technical analysts are closely monitoring XRP, noting a significant tightening in its Bollinger Bands, which could signal an impending price surge.
JayDee, a well-known analyst, highlighted that the Bollinger Bands around XRP have become increasingly thin, indicating a potential major breakout.
He referenced historical patterns, including the 2017 price movement, when the token experienced similar compression before skyrocketing to its all-time high.
In his recent analysis, JayDee emphasized the parallels between the current market and the past cycles that led to significant price jumps. He pointed to the candlestick formations on the monthly charts, noting the steady band compression.
Historically, similar patterns have preceded major price surges. The most notable example occurred in 2017 when XRP reached $3.84 after a period of compression.
However, the 2017 rally faced a sharp rejection once the $3.84 mark was hit, triggering a downtrend. Despite the decline, similar Bollinger Band tightening was observed in 2020 and 2021. Although a price increase followed during this cycle, it failed to surpass XRP’s previous high. The highest value during this period was $1.96, after which the market again saw a downward trend.
Now, analysts are again seeing signs of compression in XRP’s Bollinger Bands. This tightening is more pronounced than in previous cycles, prompting speculation of a substantial breakout.
Some believe that the upcoming price reversal could match or even exceed the 2017 rally. Analysts argue that the current market structure resembles the pre-2017 breakout period, and the thinner bands suggest a higher potential for a sharp price movement.
A 650X Increase: Realistic or Exaggerated?
In his comparison of past cycles, JayDee noted that after the last major breakout, XRP saw a 650X price increase, equivalent to 65,000%. While he acknowledges that such an extreme surge may be possible again, he offers a more conservative outlook for the current market. In his view, a more feasible price increase would be within the range of a 5X to 10X jump.
With XRP trading around $0.59 at the time of his analysis, JayDee suggests a realistic price target could be around $5. He maintains that, while the potential for a life-changing surge exists, investors should temper their expectations and focus on manageable gains rather than extreme speculation. For JayDee, this pragmatic approach is key to navigating the market during uncertain times.
He also revealed that he capitalized on the bear market by increasing his Bitcoin holdings, which have since risen by over 140%. With Bitcoin outperforming XRP in the short term, he plans to leverage his Bitcoin gains to accumulate more XRP in preparation for the potential surge. His strategy is to use the relative strength of Bitcoin to position himself advantageously for the next major XRP rally.
Despite his optimism, JayDee is cautious and emphasizes that not all investors will experience such dramatic returns. He believes that those who prepare carefully and invest strategically may see significant profits, but this will only apply to a select few.

Diverging Opinions on XRP’s Future
While JayDee and other analysts maintain a bullish outlook, not all market participants share the same enthusiasm. Some are skeptical of the token’s ability to break through its current resistance level of $0.60.
An XRP investor from Austria expressed doubt, noting that while many other cryptocurrencies have experienced strong rallies, XRP has struggled to keep pace. He argued that technical analysis (TA) alone cannot explain the digital asset’s current stagnation, suggesting that other factors may be at play.
This view is echoed by other members of the XRP community who remain cautious about relying solely on technical indicators. They point to the token’s underperformance relative to other assets as a reason for skepticism, despite the promising signs of Bollinger Band compression. Critics argue that external factors, such as regulatory issues and market sentiment, may continue to weigh on XRP’s price movement.
