XRP Eyes Historic Comeback as Analyst Predicts 2017-Like Surge

Technical Setup Points to Parabolic Move

DonAlt noted that XRP’s current price patterns mirror the consolidation phase that preceded its steep climb in late 2017, when it gained over 1,200%. Now trading around $2.60, XRP has broken key resistance levels, setting the stage for a potential run toward former highs—if bullish momentum continues.

A Call for Caution Amid Optimism

Though DonAlt suggests we're entering “Round 2” of the rally, he stresses that macroeconomic conditions differ significantly from 2017. Despite these caveats, he remains confident—especially with legal clarity and a potential spot ETF on the horizon.

ETF approval would open institutional channels to XRP, potentially adding fuel to the rally through large-scale inflows.

Fundamental Catalysts and Timing

The XRP community is closely watching both technical signals and regulatory developments. If a spot ETF is approved, institutional appetite could dramatically shift supply and demand dynamics in XRP’s favor. DonAlt’s past success in forecasting XRP’s late‑2024 rise lends weight to this scenario.

Final Take:

XRP appears to be trading in a setup similar to its pre‑2017 bull run. If a spot ETF launches and broader market conditions hold, the token could make a serious attempt at reclaiming former glory. Whether it repeats history—or simply echoes it—the next few weeks promise to be decisive.
