XRP’s current market structure presents a familiar technical sequence. Price action has progressed through recognizable phases that previously preceded a major expansion.
When viewed across cycles, the alignment becomes clearer. The setup reflects historical behavior that defined XRP’s strongest rally.
Crypto analyst Marin (@Marin11G) shared charts comparing XRP’s current structure with its 2017 cycle. The comparison highlights repeating consolidation zones, breakout points, and the expansion phase.

 If XRP is to go to fib level 3 on the log scale of the 2014 top and bottom at around 29$, then based on nature/behavior of its cycle/pattern, the biggest part of the move, the biggest candle, indeed could be a 20$ price gain candle, and could be a 1D candle, just like March 2017. <a href="https://t.co/anZElqxOq6" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/anZElqxOq6</a> <a href="https://t.co/Y8O4MJv83c" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/Y8O4MJv83c</a>

<h2 id="strong-repeating-structure-from-the-2017-cycle-strong">Repeating Structure From the 2017 Cycle</h2>
In 2017, XRP formed a prolonged base after a multi-month decline. Its price was compressed within a defined range. That compression resolved through a breakout that quickly transitioned into vertical expansion. The most important feature of that move was its concentration.
A single daily candle accounted for a large portion of the total rally. That candle marked the shift from early expansion into <a href="https://timestabloid.com/analyst-says-xrp-price-discovery-is-next-if-it-passes-this-level/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">full price discovery</a>. The remainder of the move followed rapidly.
Marin’s chart shows the same sequence developing now. XRP formed a rounded base with the price stabilizing near a key support zone. Then compression followed, and the breakout phase has already begun, with the structure <a href="https://timestabloid.com/xrp-technical-analysis-key-levels-signal-potential-3-30-rally/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">expanding upward</a> in a similar shape.
The visual comparison places the current consolidation and breakout in the same relative position as March 2017. The proportions match, and if history repeats, XRP may match the <a href="https://timestabloid.com/analyst-to-xrp-holders-if-this-history-repeats-2026-may-be-a-landmark-year/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bullish expectations set by analysts for 2026</a>.
<h2 id="strong-logarithmic-fibonacci-projection-toward-29-strong">Logarithmic Fibonacci Projection Toward $29</h2>
The analysis uses a logarithmic Fibonacci extension drawn from XRP’s 2014 top to its cycle bottom. On that scale, fib level 3 sits near $29. This level represents the same extension XRP reached during its prior cycle when measured logarithmically.

Marin stated that “the biggest part of the move, the biggest candle, indeed could be a $20 price gain candle, and could be a 1D candle, just like March 2017.” That statement directly ties the historical behavior to the projected move.
In 2017, XRP advanced from consolidation into its extension zone through a single dominant daily candle. The chart suggests the same type of expansion remains possible within the current cycle.
<h2 id="strong-what-the-chart-indicates-going-forward-strong">What the Chart Indicates Going Forward</h2>
The significance of Marin’s analysis lies in repetition. XRP followed this structure in 2017, and the <a href="https://timestabloid.com/analyst-xrp-is-repeating-a-pattern-ive-only-seen-once-before/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">same structure is repeating</a> on the current chart. If the cycle continues to track the 2017 pattern, the steepest portion of the move lies ahead.
The logarithmic fib projection places the target at $29 with much of the upside occurring during a brief expansion window.
