XRP Price Could Surge to $45 If 2017 Pattern Repeats: Egrag Crypto

Highlights:

• Egrag highlights XRP’s past price jumps, anticipating a potential rise to $45 or $19.
• XRP’s price history shows major rallies in 2017 and 2021, now repeating.
• Analyst Egrag suggests a DCA strategy to manage risks amid XRP’s predicted breakout.

Crypto analyst Egrag (@egragcrypto) recently shared a chart analysis suggesting that XRP might be close to a big price jump, similar to what happened during its past major highs. The data, covering the period from late 2013 to 2025, shows that XRP has gone through long periods of price drops before making big, sudden price jumps several times.

Egrag points out two big moments in XRP’s history. In 2017, its price jumped over 2,700%. In 2021, it surged over 1,000% from its pre-rally level. The chart shows that XRP has already repeated parts of its 2017 and 2021 patterns. 

#XRP – Targeting $19 or $45?

Men lie, women lie, but charts don’t! 📊 I’m not improvising here; I’m relying on historical data to present future predictions. Will it rhyme exactly? No, because if it were that easy, everyone would be a multimillionaire! 💰

Egrag Crypto believes XRP could climb to $45 if it follows its 2017 pattern. That year, it stayed above the 21 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) before a big jump. If XRP follows the 2021 rally instead, he expects it could still reach around $19. In 2021, XRP surged after surpassing the 21 Moving Average (MA) and 33 EMA. It gained around 1,050% during that time. He also mentioned that his long-term target is $27 and suggested using DCA if needed.

Egrag explains why he uses two types of moving averages. He says market makers often use common ones to find support and resistance and move against traders. So, he uses both a fast (exponential) and a simple moving average to analyze price movements more effectively. He also says these signals are slow but can still help confirm if the trend is turning bullish.

In the past, XRP’s big moves started after it crossed the 33 MA and 21 EMA. These rallies often happened around 770 to 777 days after key signals.

Egrag said:

“Men lie, women lie, but charts don’t. I’m not improvising here; I’m relying on historical data to present future predictions. Will it rhyme exactly? No, because if it were that easy, everyone would be a multimillionaire!”

He suggests that certainty is hard to find in a market driven by “human reactions and behaviors.” He also mentions a line from Margin Call, highlighting that things can’t be controlled, stopped, slowed, or changed and that reacting is the only option. According to him, there’s potential for profit if one is right, but risks of loss if wrong. He advises planning for potential sales or using “DCA (Dollar-Sell-Average)” to manage risk.
