Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Reach $13 In 3 Months As Accumulation Ends

$XRP might be trading well below the $2 price level, but this hasn’t stopped outrageous predictions from its supporters. One of such recent predictions came from a crypto analyst who projected a surge to double-digit territory in the coming months.

The prediction comes as $XRP is trading around the mid-$1 range, with weeks of tight consolidation and a lack of clear bullish momentum across the entire crypto market. However, the prediction is that $XRP has ended its wave 2 accumulation and will rally to $13 within the next three months.

CryptoBull Says $XRP Is Repeating The 2017 Bull Run Structure

The 2017 to 2018 bull run is one of the most powerful rallies in $XRP’s price history. During that cycle, the cryptocurrency’s price climbed from well below one cent to over $3 in a matter of months in a near-vertical move with few corrections.

Interestingly, a crypto analyst known as CryptoBull believes $XRP is mirroring this interesting 2017 bull cycle, only stretched across a longer timeframe. According to his analysis, the current structure resembles an Elliott Wave formation similar to the one that preceded $XRP’s explosive rally nearly a decade ago.

In the chart he shared, the 2017 bull run is mapped out with a clear five-wave impulsive move that ended with a massive rally. He overlaid a projected 2026 scenario on the right side of the chart, with the current price action labeled as the completion of Wave 2. If that interpretation is true, that means Wave 3 is now about to be underway.

Wave 2 has been playing out since $XRP reached a new peak price of $3.65 in July 2025. The recent sideways price action between $1.4 and $1.5 can be looked at as an accumulation period before expansion.

Weekly Consolidation Range Keeps $XRP At Important Level

$XRP might still be subject to bullish outlooks, but the current price action is far from outright bullishness. Crypto analyst Guy on the Earth offered a more measured perspective with a focus on $XRP’s weekly chart structure.

As noted by the analyst, $XRP recently finished the week inside a consolidation range formed between its 2021 all-time high and a lower high created during the rebound.

The weekly chart he shared shows $XRP trading within a defined horizontal range, with the price in a clear downtrend since July 2025. The most important level highlighted is $1.41. According to his analysis, a weekly close below that zone would open the door for downside targets under $1, with the possibility of the $XRP price falling to as low as $0.60.

Although momentum changed slightly upward in recent trading sessions, there is still a need for confirmation. In that case, the weekly close above $1.41 is the decisive factor in determining whether $XRP maintains its structure or enters a deeper correction phase. The $XRP/BTC pair is also bouncing from recent lows, and this is a sign that relative strength may be returning.
