XRP price analysis reveals that Ripple price could be on the verge of repeating the major 2,500% 2017 pattern, but how real is the prediction?
Everyone who’s been in crypto for a while knows the market is cyclical and patterned. This is no secret, and historical price movements often repeat, becoming technical indicators.
Top analysts have now identified a new pattern repetition in XRP price, according to German crypto publication Concierge, who published a lengthily statement from an analyst known as ‘EGRAG CRYPTO’.
Can XRP Price Repeat The 2,500% Pump of 2017?
In 2017, EGRAG highlighted that XRP price experienced a significant rally that initially drove the price up for 175 days and then brought a whopping 2,500 percent profit within 28 days – topping out at $3.30 US dollar by 2018 – its ATH.
Yet, a closer look at the present XRP price chart reveals a pattern that corresponds almost exactly with this price trend from 2017—suggesting the XRP price could rise gradually until an explosive move in May—with EGRAG targeting an XRP price between $27 and $33 US dollars.

Sometimes, I throw myself under the bus with time predictions ⏳, but honestly, it’s worth sharing with the community! Even though I know it might backfire, I still give it a shot.

However, the question arises whether history can really repeat itself. The fact that the market capitalization of XRP is currently already at a fairly high level speaks against this: At 138.52 billion US dollars at the time of publication of this article, it is already higher than in 2017, when it climbed to a peak value of 127 billion US dollars.
Another 2,500% jump would mean XRP would hit a market cap of $3.46 trillion, while Bitcoin is currently sitting at $1.66 trillion US Dollars. Therefore, this price prediction doesn’t seem truly realistic.
What Does a Realistic XRP Price Pump Look Like on the Mid-Term?
Another crypto expert provides a much more realistic XRP forecast : Captain Faibik also published an analysis of the current price this morning and explained how much the Ripple currency could rise by May. In his opinion, a bullish rally in the coming weeks could cause XRP to increase by 80 to 100 percent.
Currently, the XRP price is $2.39, meaning the cryptocurrency would rise to a fairer estimation of $5. The chart attached to the tweet (see below) also reveals that the biggest gains will occur in April before the local top is reached in May.

The analyst assumes that XRP can break out of the downward wedge movement upwards, which is then seen as an indication of strong price gains. In this context, the announced strategic crypto reserve of the USA could also play an important role.
On Sunday, the US President Donald Trump announced on his own social media platform, Truth Social, that this reserve would include not only Bitcoin and Ethereum but also Solana, Cardano, and XRP.
Depending on when this reserve comes and how much XRP the US government wants to buy, this could result in particularly strong changes in the crypto market. So it remains to be seen how Ripple investors react, whether they buy more XRP in advance, and how this will affect the XRP price by May.
Better Returns on Solana? New Solana Layer 2 Could Steal the Show
While XRP holders target a patterned upside, move over the coming months; smart money investors know that the biggest gains are secured through early-bird investing in the latest and greatest upcoming crypto projects.
In March 2025, one such project being quietly discussed in insider groups is the growing presale for Solana’s first-ever layer-2, Solaxy (SOLX).
Developers launched the surging ICO in response to mega congestion triggered by the TRUMP and MELANIA meme coin fiasco in January. This event rocked the Solana network, driving transactions to a halt against unprecedented demand.
This highlighted the need for SOL to build a highly scalable, efficient, secure, and reliable layer-2 solution to handle the Network’s growth and volume surges.
It has successfully tested Hyperlane integration, enabling seamless asset transfers between Solana L1 and Solaxy’s rollup on devnet. Deposits and withdrawals are now live, making moving funds in and out of Solaxy easier.
Next, the team plans to launch a stable production version and expand asset support beyond SOL. On the developer side, Solaxy has integrated the latest Sovereign SDK and improved Solana CLI compatibility, making it easier for developers to build and interact with the network.
Block explorer and Solana-native tool support are now available, and further optimizations will simplify program deployment and interaction on the rollup devnet.
