As XRP targets reclaiming the $3 spot, the asset’s current trading pattern resembles a historical movement that points to a potential upside of about 350%. Specifically, XRP appears to follow a pattern that echoes its historic 2017 rally, which saw the cryptocurrency skyrocket by over 1,300% in multiple phases. Now, if this pattern plays out, it could set the stage for an even larger breakout, potentially pushing XRP’s price to $12.50 in 2025, according to an analysis by TradingShot shared in a TradingView post on February 14.

At the same time, this bullish projection is backed by key technical indicators . TradingShot’s analysis indicated that the 50-day moving average ( MA ) has crossed above the 200-day MA, which acts as a strong bullish signal, suggesting XRP could mirror its 2017 bull run. The expert noted that XRP could see a 1,300% surge if history repeats, pushing its price to $12.50. If this target is achieved, XRP’s market cap will rise to $722 billion, potentially making it the second-largest cryptocurrency if Ethereum ( ETH ) stagnates.

The XRP community anticipates that with the new administration, the SEC will be able to drop the case or reach a settlement favorable to the blockchain firm.
