The XRP price has continued its steep correction into the past 24 hours, with it currently hovering around the $2.2 price level. Nonetheless, analysts are still concerned about the possibility of the XRP price reaching new highs sooner than later, with some giving projections into the two-digit threshold at $10 and beyond. Interestingly, crypto analyst Cryptoinsightuk recently shared his thoughts on social media platform X, drawing attention to a potential roadmap for XRP to achieve this ambitious target.
Mirroring The 2017 XRP Price Pattern
Cryptoinsightuk has brought a compelling perspective to the ongoing XRP price correction and its previous rally, highlighting how its current trajectory resembles the movement it experienced in 2017. Back then, XRP consolidated a little bit in early 2017 before undergoing a powerful rally that extended into 2018.

With this in mind, technical analysis from Cryptoinsightuk adjusted the price action at that time to size in relation to XRP’s previous breakout in early October. According to this, if XRP continues to follow the 2017 pattern, the cryptocurrency could replicate this crazy move throughout 2025.
Interestingly, the analyst’s overlay of the 2017 price action suggested that the XRP’s 460% price breakout from its early October range of $0.5 is already halfway into replicating this movement. If this were to continue playing out this way, the analyst expects XRP to break above $10 in the first quarter of 2025.
However, Cryptoinsightuk’s projections extend beyond this initial $10 target in Q1 2025. If XRP’s price continues to mimic the historic movement beyond the first quarter, the analyst envisions what he describes as a “moon boy blow-off top.” This phase, which is characterized by a larger parabolic surge in price, could push XRP as high as $35 by the third or fourth quarter of 2025.
Factors To Push XRP’s Bullish Trajectory
CryptoinsightUK’s bullish outlook on XRP hinges on the cryptocurrency’s ability to replicate its 2017 movement. Back then, the parabolic surge saw XRP go from below $0.0060 until it reached its current all-time high of $3.40. Punching in the numbers, this comes up to around 56,000% gain over 12 months or so.

While XRP is currently in a positive market sentiment to continue a strong bullish move, market conditions in 2024 are different from those in 2017. Furthermore, the amount of inflow capital needed to reach $10 or $35 at this point would be far greater than what it took to reach $3.4 in 2018.
However, increased institutional involvement and factors like political and expected regulatory positivity in 2025 suggest that the XRP price could nonetheless go on a comparable surge. Additionally, broader crypto market trends, such as Bitcoin’s performance, could contribute to the predicted XRP price surge.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.18. Reaching the $10 and $35 price targets would translate to a 358% and 1,505% move, respectively.
