XRP (XRP) witnessed a historically significant year in 2024 after the altcoin registered its highest monthly close ever in December at $2.08. With a return of 16.50% over the past three days, XRP is off to a positive start in 2025 as well.
With market expectations largely bullish in 2025, traders and technical analysts outlined potential XRP targets over the coming months.
XRP “second wave” to kick off
XRP price exhibited a “god candle” in November 2024, breaking a seven-year trend with a 283% rally. With Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC reaching a positive conclusion for the crypto asset, multiple analysts believe that XRP is touted for further upside in 2025.
Likewise, Mikybull, a crypto trader, said that XRP’s second wave of the rally is about to kick off. Drawing a comparison between 2017 and 2024 over a two-day chart, XRP experienced a 30-day consolidation period, where the relative strength index (RSI) cooled off from an overbought condition to around 57.
This was followed by a retest of the 20-day-40-day EMA levels as support bands before exhibiting a strong breakout.
Similarly, Javon Marks, a crypto investor, outlined another chart pattern that drew striking similarities between XRP’s 2017 bull run and its current price movement. Marks explained that the altcoin’s current daily chart displayed a series of strengths mirroring its 2017 bull run. The trader said,
“By previous performance, All Time Highs (>$3.317) and MUCH HIGHER is looking to also be a matter of when, and not if.”

XRP bullish pennant targets a 100% rise
One particular short-term pattern with a 100% bullish outcome observed for XRP since November 2024 is the bullish pennant. As illustrated in the chart, each time the bullish pennant has taken form, it reached XRP’s Fibonacci extension levels after a positive breakout.
The current setup presents the same outlook, and a successful breakout may lead to XRP reaching its FIB levels at 1.618 and 2.272. A like-for-like rally would lead XRP to $5 over the next few weeks, which is 110% of its current price value.
While the above price target seems reasonable, other analysts had higher targets for the altcoin. Tony Severino, a market technician, identified a potential bull flag for XRP on the 1-day chart. The trader explained that a valid breakout from this particular pattern puts XRP’s top target at around $13, i.e., another 440% rise.
However, Severino added that XRP at $13 is beyond ideal top targets, but it is not “impossible.”
