The crypto market experiences another drop in prices as BTC and ETH fall to lower prices. In response, several promising altcoin prices have fallen as well, with some losing critical support levels on the weekly price chart. Analysts hope these assets can reclaim support before the monthly close. Presently, analysts debate if altcoin XRP can pull off another 110,000% price pump like it did in 2017.
Analysts Debate if Altcoin XRP Can Pull Off Another 110,000% Price Pump
The bullish altseason peak phase of the latest bull cycle has yet to play out and bearish analysts believe this pump will not occur this cycle. This is based on the 4-year bull cycle that dictates the cycle has closed as of October 2025, meaning a bear market should have commenced by now. On the other hand, bullish analysts believe a 5-year super cycle is playing out.
In detail, Raoul Pal explained how the extended business cycle will result in a 5-year super cycle this year. If this is true, then the price of BTC and altcoins should shoot up in the coming New Year, with many experts expecting to see new ATH prices in Q1 and Q2. This expectation also fits in with the narrative from bearish analysts who believe the end of 2026 will lead to BTC bottoming and preparing for the next bull cycle.
As we can see from the post above, this analyst shares a chart and explains how on the 3-week timeframe, the Stochastic RSI has dropped to 0.00, which is extremely rare and has only happened once before — at the 2022 bear market bottom. On such a high timeframe, this indicator only reaches zero when selling pressure is fully exhausted, meaning momentum to the downside has dried up, not that price must instantly reverse.
To highlight, the analyst elaborates saying that the last time this signal appeared, XRP entered a long accumulation phase before the next major move higher. Seeing it again suggests downside risk is structurally limited and that long-term holders are absorbing supply rather than distributing. All in all, according to this analyst, these signals tend to mark cycle lows, not short-term trades.
Can XRP Repeat Its Bull Pump From 2017?
Meanwhile, another analyst talks about how XRP, after rejecting the accumulation supply bIock in Q4 2016, witnessed a 69% flash wick crash in an ABC structure into Q1 2017 before recovering into a 110,000% rally. So, if a similar set-up unfolds, a 69% ABC flash crash from this year’s accumulation range highs (ATH) would bring price back down towards the low $1 territory to create a flipped S/R on the previous resistance trendline.
While this may be scary, it is also where the fun would begin later in 2026 for XRP price, as the asset would be setting up shop for a 23x rally towards the 1.618 FIB extension target at $27. The analyst further states that he is only sharing his observations to cover all potential scenarios. Thus, he concludes that even if a multi-month support still holds, and has a good chance at confirming the low, other possibilities should not be ignored.
