Analyst Reveals XRP Price Can Hit $45 If It Follows This 2017 Pattern

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has predicted that the XRP price could rally to as high as $45 if it mirrors a bullish price movement from the 2017 bull run. The analyst also raised the possibility of the altcoin at least touching $19 if it replicates the 2021 price action.

XRP Price Could Rally To $45 If It Mirrors 2017 Bull Run

In an X post, Egrag Crypto predicted that the XRP price could rally to $45 if it mimics the 2017 cycle. He noted that in 2017, the price found heavy support at the 21 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and experienced a last blow-off top.

This blow-off top led to a price surge of 2,700%, which the analyst believes could lead to XRP’s rally to $45 if the 2017 bull run repeats itself. Meanwhile, Egrag Crypto predicts the altcoin could at least touch $19 if a similar price movement like the 2021 bull run occurs.

He noted that in 2021, the price breached the 21 and 33 EMA and then pumped in a final leg that marked the cycle’s blow-off top. During this period, XRP surged by 1,050%, which the crypto analyst believes could lead to a rally to $19 if history repeats itself. The analyst added that his target has always been $27 and advised market participants to DCA if necessary.

In the short term, the XRP price looks to be eyeing a rally to $5. A CoinGape market analysis revealed that the Hidden Road acquisition may lead to $10 billion in volume to the XRP Ledger, which could push the altcoin to this target.

Meanwhile, XRP’s on-chain metrics also paint a bullish outlook for the altcoin, with the number of wallet addresses hitting a new all-time high (ATH) recently. This indicates that Ripple’s native crypto is enjoying wider adoption.

Ripple’s Native Crypto Has The Potential To Hit $1,000

Crypto analyst BarriC asserted that the XRP price could hit $1,000, although he admitted that it would “absolutely” take time. He claimed it will take a utility run and mass adoption to drive XRP to this price target.

The analyst added that it would also take a big shift in the financial space for the altcoin to reach this $1,000 level. Essentially, BarriC believes something massive has to happen for XRP to reach this target. However, once they do, he assured that there is no going back.

A CoinGape market analysis also once suggested that the XRP price could reach $1,000 if Michael Saylor swapped his $21 billion BTC for Ripple’s native crypto.
