XRP’s market history has often defined extended consolidation phases followed by sharp breakouts. In 2017, the token experienced one of its most notable rallies, moving from fractions of a cent to a multi-dollar peak within months. That same pattern of consolidation and expansion is now being examined in the current market cycle. Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) recently presented a chart that places the 2017 XRP breakout next to the 2025 price structure. The side-by-side comparison highlights structural similarities between the two periods. Both showed a clear Elliott Wave pattern with consolidation forming a symmetrical triangular structure before the final upward move. #XRP history is repeating again! pic.twitter.com/NGpiq3URDD — STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) August 24, 2025 Comparing Both Cycles The 2017 chart shows XRP moving through a series of waves before entering a triangular formation around the middle of 2017. Once that pattern was resolved, the token surged to $3.36, marking its highest valuation at the time. The monthly chart from that cycle shows five distinct waves, ending with a sharp vertical climb. The current 2025 chart reflects a near-identical setup. XRP has already completed three upward waves, beginning in mid-2024. The asset completed the third wave in January, when it surged over 500%, and entered a consolidation phase , marking the beginning of the fourth wave and the symmetrical triangle that contributed to the surge in 2017. According to the chart comparison, XRP has now entered the fifth wave. The asset began this run in July, when it broke out of the symmetrical triangle, and rose to a new all-time high of $3.65 . The similarity between both journeys suggests that XRP’s climb isn’t over. Although its momentum seems to have stalled, Steph’s analysis suggests this run could culminate in a double-digit target.

The green projection box in the chart highlights an area that extends past $10, with the upper boundary approaching $12 . This implies the possibility of a multi-fold increase from XRP’s current price, which remains just above $3. The structural symmetry between the two cycles supports the view that XRP may follow a comparable trajectory. While no chart pattern guarantees identical results, the resemblance between the 2017 and 2025 setups gives technical analysts reason to consider higher targets in the event of a breakout.
