- Egrag’s analysis highlights three scenarios for XRP’s price: an upswing, downswing, or consolidation within a channel.
- A breakout above the channel could push XRP to $4.20, with a key resistance level at $5.00 supported by Fibonacci extensions.
- If XRP drops below the channel, a bearish move may reach $1.80, but a double-bottom formation could signal a future bullish trend.
In the recent analysis, Egrag outlined short-term speculation about the Fluctuations in the price of XRP in the near future. Last week the analyst outlined three possibilities for its short-term trend – an upswing, a downswing, or forming a sideways channel. The analysis pointed out the fact that predictions made in trading are conditional on the probabilities of the results that are likely to be realized from the existing data in the market.
XRP Bullish Breakout
The first target is around the $4.20 mark if XRP manages to breach the channel. Moreover, the next major level of support can be seen at $5.00 which is being supported by the Fibonacci 1.618 extension level. This would point towards higher value or a new high as a result of consistently bullish movement.
On the other hand, if the token price drops below the channel, a bearish break out may push the price to $1.80 ± 10%. However, the analyst points out that such decrease may bring about a double-bottom formation. This formation normally has a bullish implication and gives support in future trends and movements.
The third scenario may be when XRP maintains its existing range and does not go either higher or lower. However, in this setup outlook is still positive. As long as it remains treading around the ascending channel, the more the consolidation increases the chances of a breakout. Over time, the upper and lower targets rise and fall, thus making it easier for a large move in either direction to occur.
XRP Market Outlook
The analyst also stated that the bearish territory could begin appearing if XRP has not managed to breach the channel by middle of March. Nevertheless, this could not necessarily lead to a long-term decline in its value out. There could be a chance that once the market stabilizes then it shall be possible to see an advance in the following months. At the time of writing, token is valued at $2.59, which is 3.53% down over the past 24 hours.

This analysis shows that the cryptocurrency market is highly fluctuating toward prices and this tends to be volatile. Traders should therefore be able to monitor the market for signs of a breakout or a reversal. From the analysis of the price chart of XRP, it becomes easier for traders to prepare in advance when the market turns in either a bullish or a bearish direction.
The analyst also points out that one needs to be very patient and to observe very carefully. XRP could even go sideways even in the short term but then more defined action patterns should present themselves somewhere down the line for further gains both short run and long run.
