XRP in 2025 is not simply trading sideways, but rather in a deep digestion phase after a high-level rally. Since a strong surge at the beginning of the year that refreshed the all-time high, XRP has released profit-taking pressure through retracements and range-bound consolidation over the past few months. Its overall structure has gradually sparked market attention to the possibility of "history repeating itself." Crypto analyst Steph recently shared a chart on the X platform showing that XRP's current price pattern is highly similar to the long-term consolidation phase before the major rally in 2017. Data indicates that XRP has completed approximately 393 days of sideways consolidation, almost identical to the 395-day consolidation phase between 2016 and 2017. This temporal coincidence has led some investors to reassess XRP's medium- to long-term potential.
