Crypto analysts are again expressing strong bullish sentiment regarding $XRP’s price trajectory, with figures forecasting a significant rally. For instance, market analyst Ali Martinez has identified a cup-and-handle formation on the token’s chart, signaling a likely breakout. This pattern suggests a near-term target of $3.35, reinforcing a bullish outlook. “If $XRP is following a cup and handle pattern, a breakout could set the stage for a move toward $3.35!” Martinez noted.

Adding to the bullish sentiment, market analyst Dark Defender identified $2.7740 as a crucial resistance level for the $XRP cryptocurrency. According to his analysis, if the token successfully surpasses this threshold, a rally toward $4 could follow. Besides, the analyst pointed to a bullish rectangle formation on the charts. This pattern suggests consolidation within an upper and lower channel, with the upper resistance level near $3.10 and support holding around $2.20.
If the cryptocurrency breaches the upper boundary of this formation, it could signal the beginning of a larger uptrend. “Breaking this channel heralds 2 Digits levels first!,” he stated. Historical patterns and trading volume also support this outlook, with increased investor interest reflected in growing transaction volumes.
$XRP to $15-$17, Analyst Says
Prominent crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has projected that the $XRP token could reach $17, citing a strong technical setup. He pointed to a bullish pennant pattern, emphasizing the cryptocurrency continues to respect a critical support level marked by a yellow trendline on his charts.
According to his analysis, $XRP must first break above $3.40 to confirm a decisive uptrend. He outlined two price targets—$15 and $17—based on the measured move of the pennant’s pole leg. From EGRAG’s point of view, the lower estimate of $15 is derived from the pattern’s base, while a full extension suggests a move to $17.
Despite the optimism, he cautioned that the cryptocurrency needs to maintain its position above the yellow support line. A breakdown below this level could invalidate the bullish scenario and lead to a potential price decline.
Altseason Predictions Align with $XRP’s Bullish Outlook
Recent market discussions suggest that an altcoin season could be approaching, aligning with historical four-year cycles. Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader highlighted this pattern in a tweet, stating, “History doesn’t lie. Every 4 years, Altseason starts in February. And guess what? It’s February.”

The analyst’s chart reinforces this perspective, indicating that previous altseasons have followed a consistent four-year cycle. February 2017 and February 2021 marked key turning points for altcoin dominance, and projections suggest February 2025 could follow suit. If the trend continues, the $XRP token could experience heightened market activity alongside other major altcoins.
