The crypto community is abuzz with speculation as analysts draw parallels between the current XRP price movement and the 2017 Bitcoin (BTC) fractal. With several events on the horizon, many are wondering if the cryptocurrency is on the brink of a significant breakout.
Cryptoinsightuk, a recognized figure in the space, tweeted yesterday, “XRP Blast off in T-19 days.

As NewsBTC reported, the SEC lawsuit against Ripple Ripple had a profound impact on the XRP price, causing it to plummet. This event has left many wondering if the cryptocurrency, after consolidating and three consecutive victories over the SEC in recent months, is now poised for a significant breakout.
Will History Repeat?
The million-dollar question on everyone’s mind is whether XRP will follow the trajectory of the 2017 BTC fractal. If it does, we could be looking at a substantial price surge in the coming weeks. However, as with all things in the crypto world, nothing is guaranteed.
