XRP ($1.35 · Live) is at the center of ultra-ballistic calls after two crypto commentators pointed to the 2017 fractal as the basis for a major breakout. The latest discussion started with analyst CryptoBull predicting that the price of XRP will be in a good position between $10 and $11 by the end of March if its price action follows the structure of 2017.
That outlook has since drawn more reaction from Remy Relief, who said his conservative target for the period is four figures between $1,200 and $1,700.
CryptoBull Fractal Call to Double Numbers
CryptoBull’s forecast is built around a familiar XRP talking point: that the cryptocurrency is following a structure similar to the 2017 breakout. The comparison of 2017 is one of the strongest narratives for crypto, as it points to a period in the history of XRP, when the price went from relative calm to a parabolic period in a short period of time.
In his technical analysis, CryptoBull said that he now believes that XRP is following the 2017 fractal and that this setup could take the cryptocurrency to $10-11 by the end of March, adding that he expects six more days before the upside.
The chart attached to this post shows that XRP is moving from a flat and compressed range below a horizontal resistance zone on the candlestick chart, and the green fractal path predicts a rally after breaking the resistance.
The structure is simple enough to explain: long consolidation, break of resistance, short pause, then vertical continuation. In other words, the chart does not show a slow upward trend, as you might expect given XRP’s recent price action. It offers a repeat of XRP’s most explosive behavior in 2017.

Remi Relief takes that same setup to the extreme
Remi Relief took the same broad idea and pushed it far beyond CryptoBull’s goal. In his response, he said that in 2024 he had already stated that XRP would follow the run of 2017 and conservatively go to $1200 during this period. This move has been delayed, although this is what he warned about in June 2025, and after revising his thinking, his target range has changed from $1,200 to $1,700.
CryptoBull’s $10-$11 call is already a huge move from current levels, but it’s still within the range of numbers that are possible based on XRP’s current circulating supply. A price of $10 implies a market capitalization of about $610 billion and $11 implies a market capitalization of about $671 billion. On the other hand, a move to $1,200 implies about $73.2 trillion, while $1,700 implies about $103.7 trillion in market cap.
The real significance of these predictions may not be whether XRP will actually reach quadruple-digit prices. Maybe that’s what they’re saying about the sentiment among XRP traders right now. At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $1.37, with an intraday range of $1.35 to $1.41. This indicates that the cryptocurrency is much lower than the expected price level. However, there are many traders with an ultra-high bias who are still willing to rally around any setup that resembles 2017.
