A notable market veteran says XRP could reach a three-digit figure, suggesting the recent drop is just a retest of a double-bottom breakout.Gert van Lagen, a Dutch technical analyst, noted this while discussing XRP's price movements on the weekly chart. He argued that the current XRP price retracement could be a necessary retest, setting the stage for an explosive run that could surpass $100. XRP Historical Double Bottom StructureHis weekly chart highlights XRP's historical patterns, with a focus on its first cycle. For context, during this period, XRP formed a similar double-bottom structure. After achieving an all-time high of $0.0614 in December 2013, XRP collapsed. This slump led to the first bottom at $0.00281 in July 2014. Despite a recovery to $0.028 in December 2014, XRP failed to break its 2013 ATH. This resistance triggered another collapse, reaching a second bottom at $0.003 in January 2017.

After breaking above this double-bottom pattern in March 2017 and retracing to retest the breakout, XRP experienced a parabolic surge, reaching a new ATH of $3.31 by January 2018.XRP Forms Similar Double-BottomFast forward to the current cycle, XRP's price movements are similar to the previous behavior. After reaching its ATH of $3.31 in January 2018, XRP entered a prolonged bearish phase, which led to the formation of a second double-bottom structure.The asset found its first bottom at $0.1140 in March 2020 before rebounding to $1.96 in April 2021. However, this recovery fell short of reclaiming the $3.31 ATH. A subsequent collapse brought XRP to its second bottom at $0.2870 in June 2022, following the market-wide turmoil triggered by Terra's downfall.This double-bottom setup is again signaling the possibility of a massive bullish breakout. November 2024 marked a crucial turning point, as XRP rallied by 283%, echoing a similar 284% surge from March 2017. Van Lagen believes this rally confirmed the double-bottom breakout. A Healthy RetestHowever, XRP has since retraced to $2.2 amid a broader market pullback. Van Lagen asserts that this pullback is a healthy retest of the breakout zone. Notably, such retests are essential for establishing strong support levels.Van Lagen predicts that if XRP replicates the previous run, it could surpass $100 this cycle. Specifically, data from his chart shows a likely rally to $150, marking an upsurge of 6,718% from the current $2.2 price. For context, XRP rallied 12,592% to $3.31 after a similar retest in 2017.Interestingly, EGRAG, another prominent market analyst, confirmed the bullish outlook. He noted that he and other confident market watchers have faced ridicule for projecting rallies to double-digit prices. However, market veterans are now expecting XRP to hit a triple-digit price.https://twitter.com/egragcrypto/status/1869795694825075120For context, EGRAG has always been confident that XRP could reach $27. Most recently, he identified an XRP profit-taking zone between $4.42 and $27.86, based on Fibonacci extensions. He also recently introduced the "Bifrost Bridge" framework, which suggests XRP could reach $6 by December 2024 and $27 by January 2025.
