XRP Analyst Calls $17 Target a ‘Fork in the Road’ Moment Amid Bullish Momentum

XRP Explosion In The Cards As Ripple Renews Optimism in the U.S. Market With Latest Acquisition

XRP traded relatively flat on Wednesday, consolidating after a strong rally on Tuesday that saw the coin surge, recovering all losses from the past week or so. The relative calm was largely attributed to profit-taking by investors, as they get ready for the next ride.

Despite the brief cooldown, XRP’s broader outlook remains bullish, with popular crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO suggesting a 658% surge if the price unfolds inside a broadening wedge pattern.

“XRP – A Fork in The Road. The upper edge of our Ascending Broadening Wedge is currently between $5 and $6,” Agrag tweeted Tuesday. “If we can close above this level, it paves the way for a potential measured move reaching all the way up to $17.” 

This latest update revisits a prior technical analysis from April 5, 2025, in which EGRAG pointed out the same wedge pattern —a typically bearish formation with a 70% chance of breaking lower to $0.65. However, the analyst emphasized that surpassing the $5-$6 threshold could dramatically change the outlook, potentially triggering a sharp rally to $17.

Interestingly, EGRAG has also hinted at an even more ambitious target of $27 in future projections. Recently, he cautioned that XRP remains volatile, metaphorically stating, “XRP Kangaroo is Clucking,” a nod to the unpredictable swings the token could face before a decisive bullish move.

Meanwhile, analyst Dark Defender provided a detailed Elliott Wave analysis, identifying the current move as part of a Wave 4 correction. He highlighted that XRP had bounced precisely at $2.1937 ,which is his projected bottom, signaling a likely end to the correction and the beginning of Wave 5, targeting levels between $2.222 and $2.40.

“We had 6 years of consolidation between 30 and 50 cents, so this is just the beginning of higher targets,” he noted, urging traders to watch key support at $1.8815 and resistance levels at $2.222 and $2.40.

Adding to the optimistic outlook, analyst Ali Martinez pointed out an emerging inverse head and shoulders pattern on XRP’s chart, suggesting a possible breakout to $2.70, a 20% gain from current levels. Martinez also revealed that XRP network activity had surged by 67.5%, with the number of active wallet addresses increasing from 27,352 to 40,366, indicating renewed interest and buying pressure.

At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $2.23, up 3.51% over the past 24 hours. Trading volume also spiked significantly, doubling to $5.8 billion in the same period, according to CoinMarketCap data.
