Market data indicate that XRP has the potential to reach a remarkable three-digit price mark if it replicates only 10% of its 2017 rally.
Digital Asset Investor on X sheds light on XRP price if XRP can rise only 10% of the 2017 bull run.
If XRP does even 10% of that performance it's $207 and in 2017 it didn't have near the taiwinds it does now. https://t.co/R2Zd2jqpJR

For context, XRP’s impressive run during the 2017/2018 bull market represented its most expensive rally in history. Amid the uptick, XRP claimed its all-time high above $3 in January 2018. However, following this top, it collapsed immensely and has failed to record a rally of similar magnitude since then.
XRP’s Impressive 2017/2018 Run
XRP had the opportunity to repeat the trick in the 2020/2021 bull run, where the altcoin season was in full effect and several altcoins reached new peaks. However, it failed to capitalize on this opportunity due to limited market exposure resulting from delistings and investor caution, motivated by the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple, which began in December 2020.
Accordingly, several market commentators argue that this lawsuit suppressed XRP’s price potential. With the battle over, as Ripple and the SEC have filed to withdraw their appeals, XRP has no lingering baggage. At this point, what if it ever replicated the 2017 run?
What if XRP Repeats the 2017 Rally?
For context, during this 2017 rally, XRP first increased from $0.005 in March 2017 to $0.3988 in May of that year. At this peak, the uptrend took a breather following a massive roadblock. This led to a six-month consolidation between $0.127 and $0.340.
However, from December 2017, XRP resumed the run, rallying to a peak of $3.31 in January 2018, as recorded on Bitstamp. Overall, XRP’s rally from the $0.005 low to the $3.31 top culminated in a 66,100% rally. This made XRP the best-performing top asset during the 2017/2018 bull run.
While technically more difficult today, what if XRP replicated just a portion of this rally? Specifically, 10% of the 66,100% rally would result in a 6,610% increase. With XRP currently trading for $3.16, a 6,610% rise would push its price to $212. However, this could take its market value to $12.57 trillion, higher than the combined valuation of the three largest companies, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Apple.
Notably, several analysts, including Charting Guy, Cryptobilbuwoo, and EGRAG, have highlighted that XRP is currently following its 2017 fractal. Nonetheless, if it is, then the uptrend began in November 2024, when XRP traded for $0.5. Applying the 6,610% rise to this starting price would result in a peak price of $33.55 for XRP.
