The XRP price may be on the edge of a major explosion , as a new fractal report by a market expert, known as the ‘Charting Guy’ on the X social media, reveals an almost perfect repeat of the XRPBTC bull run in 2017. With its current chart mirroring the same timing and structure, the analyst suggests that XRP is now entering the critical phase that previously led to its historic surge. XRPBTC Mirrors Historic 2017 Bull Pattern On July 7, the Charting Guy released a technical analysis of the XRP/BTC trading pair , indicating that XRP could be gearing up for a massive breakout that mirrors its historic 2017 bull cycle structure . The analyst’s report presents a zoomed-in fractal overlay of the current XRPBTC price action with a pattern from the 2017 rally, revealing an almost exact match in timing, direction, and structure. The Charting Guy disclosed that this fractal had accurately forecasted both the December and January local highs down to the exact day, reinforcing confidence in its predictive reliability. Furthermore, the XRP/BTC chart shows the trading pair consolidating through the first half of 2025 after a strong run-up that mirrored the initial 2017 move. In August, the pair experienced a sharp reversal and breakout to the upside , just as the fractal predicted. As a result, the trajectory of the overlaid fractal suggests that XRP/BTC may now be entering the parabolic phase of the cycle, similar to the final months of 2017, where price surged to peak levels. While the fractal is not intended to predict the exact price levels of XRP/BTC, its alignment in timing and structure suggests that the trading pair could continue following its historical trajectory. If the pattern plays out perfectly, XRP may rally hard against Bitcoin in the coming months, potentially replicating one of its most explosive phases of its 2017 market rally. For now, the Charting Guy has urged traders to closely monitor the pair’s next moves over the coming months. XRP Price Forecasted To Outperform Bitcoin In other news, the Charting Guy recently reposted an insightful analysis on the XRP/BTC trading pair by Matt Hughes, a crypto analyst and chartist on X. In this post, XRP shows signs of a significant bullish move as both its Bitcoin and USD trading pairs approach critical levels on the weekly timeframe. The charts for both XRP/BTC and XRP/USD reveal strikingly similar structures, with the altcoin in each pair interacting with the upper boundary of the Ichimoku Cloud indicator . On the XRP/BTC chart, Hughes highlights that price action has recently broken into the cloud and is now testing its upper boundary. This behavior suggests a potential breakout to the upside, indicating that XRP could outperform Bitcoin if bullish momentum continues. Likewise, the XRP/USD chart displays a structure that closely mirrors XRPBTC, with the altcoin now trading at the edge of the weekly cloud. The alignment across both pairs reinforces the likelihood of a bullish breakout . If the breakout holds, it could mark the beginning of a new upward phase for XRP, with projections implying a move well above current levels.
