Recently, XRP's price action has left many seasoned traders baffled, as it is forming a structure highly similar to the one seen just before its explosive rally in 2017. On the five-day chart, the “four-wave pattern” has appeared—an arced first wave, a controlled pullback for the second, a steady rebound for the third, and a deeper consolidation for the fourth wave. This sequence almost perfectly overlaps with the rhythm from 2017, prompting many analysts to reassess the potential of this structure.

What’s even more crucial is that the 2017 pattern emerged during the transition from a bear to a bull market, while the current pattern is taking shape in an already confirmed bull market environment. This means stronger liquidity, higher participation, and news catalysts that can ignite trends more easily. Once the $2 to $2.5 zone is broken, the pace could be even faster than last time. Of course, the different context also means the gains might not be as extreme as in 2017, but what matters is the direction: the structure is real, and the rhythm is right. Now, it all comes down to when the key resistance will be decisively breached. The best move right now is not to chase the rally or panic, but to wait for a confirmed breakout. If the pattern is validated, XRP could be standing at the threshold of a “major cycle inflection point”; if it gets pushed back, then it’s just more sideways consolidation. To put it simply: history doesn’t always repeat, but this time it’s definitely trying to rhyme. 📈🔥
