Two prominent crypto analysts have recently pointed to a long-term accumulation structure on XRP’s chart that, if it holds, could lead to a rally of over 1,000% — a pattern reminiscent of previous cycles. Analyst Crypto Patel compared the current two-week timeframe to the 2017 and 2021 cycles, identifying what he calls “Accumulation Zone 3.” In prior instances, XRP consolidated for months before delivering gains of roughly 1,803% and 1,168% respectively. Today, XRP is trading within a demand area stretching from about $1.10 down to $0.70, with the lower boundary of the pattern near $0.50–$0.60. According to Crypto Patel, a successful break above the $3 resistance could open the door to a target above $9. He also highlighted a historically reliable MACD crossover that appears to be approaching again.
Meanwhile, analyst EGRAG CRYPTO outlined a similar outlook, asserting that XRP must hold the $0.85–$1.20 macro accumulation band to preserve the long-term bullish cycle. He identified $1.65 as the initial reclaim level that would demonstrate renewed buying strength, with $3.00–$3.50 serving as the next major resistance barrier. Clearing that zone, he believes, would signal the start of a broader expansion that could eventually push XRP toward a $15 cycle target. EGRAG stressed the importance of maintaining the exponential moving average (EMA) support, noting that a sustained breakdown below it would weaken the technical structure. Both analysts emphasized that these patterns typically take many months to develop, and that patience remains key while XRP navigates its macro bottoming phase.
