<h2 id="chart-comparison-shows-similar-cycle">Chart Comparison Shows Similar Cycle</h2>
Analyst EtherNasyonaL shared a chart comparing XRP’s current structure to its 2017 cycle. The earlier move showed accumulation, a breakout, re-accumulation, and a parabolic distribution before the drop. That run pushed XRP from fractions of a cent to more than $3.
Interestingly, the 2025 chart follows a similar path. XRP has completed its accumulation and is now consolidating in re-accumulation. If the cycle repeats, the next move could be a rally into distribution, with projections pointing above $5–$7.

<h2 id="fractal-analysis-points-to-6-7">Fractal Analysis Points to $6–$7</h2>
EGRAG CRYPTO shared a fractal-based view of XRP/USDT on the 5-day timeframe. A yellow fractal from an earlier breakout was applied to the current move to project possible price action.
Notably, the analysis shows XRP trading inside a rising channel, supported by upward-sloping averages. Fibonacci extensions are marked at $3.9 and $5.6, with further <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/ripple-price-at-crossroads-will-xrp-rip-or-dump-next/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">projections</a> toward $6–$7 by mid-November. A longer extension points to $9.

 I’ve been analyzing the yellow fractal from a previous setup and trying to fit it into various formations.
 Based on the fractal formation analysis, it suggests that by mid-November, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/XRP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#XRP</a> could be around $6 to $7!

The post added that fractals are tools for mapping patterns, not guarantees.

XRP is also gaining <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/ripples-xrp-set-to-smash-records-as-fed-cut-and-etf-excitement-build/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">attention</a> in traditional markets. On September 18, REX Shares and Osprey Funds will launch the first U.S. exchange-traded funds tied to XRP and Dogecoin on the Cboe BZX Exchange. The tickers will be XRPR and DOJE.

Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart <a href="https://x.com/JSeyff/status/1967639995365331251" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">explained</a>: “This isn’t “pure” spot. But it will hold spot directly and other spot XRP ETFs from around the world to get its exposure.” He added that the filings allow for the use of derivatives if needed, though that is not the main design.
Consequently, the new ETFs give traditional investors another way to access XRP. This comes as technical analysts point to chart structures similar to the 2017 cycle, when XRP surged in one of its strongest historical rallies.
