- XRP’s chart patterns are mirroring its 2017 accumulation phase, hinting at a possible major breakout.
- Analyst CoinsKid says the Q4 bullish setup remains alive if Bitcoin dominance weakens and XRP holds above key support.
- Wyckoff accumulation signals suggest “smart money” may be quietly positioning ahead of a potential surge.
It’s starting to feel like déjà vu for XRP. The charts are showing patterns that look eerily similar to 2017—the calm before that massive, parabolic storm. As Q4 unfolds, some traders are getting that gut feeling again… that quiet buzz that maybe, just maybe, another major move could be forming beneath the surface. Technical setups, Bitcoin dominance shifts, and altcoin flow data are all painting a picture that feels a bit too familiar to ignore.
Q4 Isn’t Over Yet—XRP Still Has Room to Run
Crypto analyst CoinsKid dropped an update recently, saying the Q4 breakout scenario for XRP is still alive. He pointed to Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) as the key metric to watch—it’s kind of like the market’s heartbeat for altcoins. When BTC.D dips, capital tends to drift toward coins like XRP, creating perfect conditions for a surge.
But there’s a twist. CoinsKid mentioned XRP losing the $1.90 low last Friday, calling it a “structural anomaly.” That kind of break adds some uncertainty in the short term, even though the big picture still hints at bullish potential. For XRP’s bullish play to stay valid, Bitcoin dominance needs to keep below its 5-day resistance on the CoinskidRibbon, while XRP itself has to hold firm above its own 5-day support level. Basically—it’s a game of balance, and both sides have to hold steady.
The Wyckoff Blueprint: History on Repeat?
Analyst EᴛʜᴇʀNᴀꜱʏᴏɴᴀL believes XRP is sitting right in the middle of a massive accumulation phase—something straight out of the Wyckoff playbook. For anyone new to it, the Wyckoff method is all about how “smart money” moves—accumulating quietly when prices are low and dull before a breakout that flips the whole market.
This phase usually comes after a long downtrend, when volume dries up and prices bounce around key supports. It’s like pressure building under the surface—eventually, it’s gotta break. Multiple retests of those levels, with less selling each time, could be setting up for a strong bullish reversal.
Echoes of 2017: Could Lightning Strike Twice?
Back in 2017, XRP played this exact game—range-bound, building strength, and then boom—an explosive rally that took it straight into the distribution zone where the early accumulators took profits. If history really does rhyme, we could be standing right at the edge of something similar now.
No one knows for sure, of course. But when charts start whispering old stories and the patterns line up almost too perfectly… it’s hard not to wonder if XRP’s about to remind everyone that patience sometimes pays in waves.
