TL;DR

XRP breaks out of multi-year triangle, mirroring 2017 pattern with strong price momentum. Whale transfers and surging volume add speculation amid XRP’s sustained move above key levels. Analyst Javon Marks sees a potential 251% rally with a target of $9.63 or beyond.

XRP Shows Strong Momentum Above 2017 High

Ripple (XRP) was trading at $2.58 at press time, up 6.56% in the last 24 hours and 15.15% over the past week. Trading volume has also climbed to $5.87 billion, up 28.20% from the previous day, indicating a rise in market activity.

Chart analysis confirms a breakout from a large multi-year symmetrical triangle that formed between 2018 and 2024. This pattern resembles XRP’s 2017 structure, where a sharp impulse move was followed by a period of consolidation, then another leg higher. If the pattern repeats, a second breakout move may be underway.

The RSI is in overbought territory, reaching levels not seen since 2017. This reinforces the momentum behind the breakout and shows continued buyer interest.

Whale Transactions Add Speculation

Whale activity has recently picked up. A transfer of 40 million XRP (worth over $101 million) between unknown wallets was flagged by Whale Alert.

As CryptoPotato reported, another transaction involving 25.49 million XRP was sent from a private wallet to Coinbase. Such moves often draw attention as they can precede large market activity.

These transfers coincide with XRP’s rising price and add interest to the current setup, although the intent behind them remains unknown.

Analyst Targets Point to $9.63 and Higher

Crypto analyst Javon Marks shared that XRP could still be on track for a move toward $9.63, based on fractal analysis and Fibonacci extensions.

XRP’s history still points to the next leg up leading into $9.631+, if not well beyond,” he posted.

Meanwhile, the technical structure remains bullish as long as price holds above $2. XRP’s consolidation at higher levels may set the stage for a second upward impulse, aligning with historical patterns.
