The Crypto Basic

XRP is once again drawing attention on higher timeframes, as an analyst highlighted a bullish structure described as a “pattern within a pattern.”

This comes at a time when XRP recently dipped below the $1.90 support level, with analysts continuing to map out a recovery path toward a new all-time high.

Key Points

• XRP forms a Triple Bottom, signaling a potential major breakout.
• Pattern stacks within a larger structure, boosting bullish conviction.
• Fibonacci targets suggest $9.28–$31.65 upside from $1.89.
• Analysts warn support breach could trigger a drop to $0.50.

XRP Forms Patterns Within a Pattern

Analyst EGRAG shared a promising outlook for XRP in his latest post on X. At the center of the analysis is a Triple Bottom formation, a classic reversal setup that marks the end of prolonged consolidation.

According to EGRAG, XRP is not just forming a single bullish pattern, but stacking multiple technical structures on top of each other.

The Triple Bottom Formation

Notably, the Triple Bottom pattern forms when price tests the same support zone three separate times without breaking lower. On XRP’s chart, each dip was met with strong buying interest, as sellers are losing control while long-term holders continue defending key levels.

This repeated defense of support indicates exhaustion of downside pressure, confidence among buyers, and lays the foundation for a sustained upside breakout.

Indeed, as EGRAG’s chart illustrates, the triple bottom pattern has played out repeatedly over several years in XRP’s history, each time leading to massive breakouts. Based on the formation over the past year, he now expects a breakout to a new all-time high.

“Patterns Within a Pattern”

What makes the present setup stand out is its position within a larger market structure. The Triple Bottom is forming inside a broader consolidation and breakout framework, supported by long-term moving averages and rising price channels.

In technical analysis, this kind of “pattern stacking” strengthens conviction. Rather than relying on a single indicator, multiple signals align. This layered setup is why EGRAG focuses on market structure rather than short-term price swings.

How High Will the Price Go?

EGRAG’s chart projects upside targets using Fibonacci extensions tied to the Triple Bottom breakout. The pattern suggests a move toward higher Fibonacci levels at the 1.272 and 1.618 extensions.

These levels correspond to XRP prices of $9.28 and $31.65, implying around a 5X to 17X surge from XRP’s current price of $1.89. While no specific timeline is attached, the chart suggests a potential window between 2026 and 2027.

The bullish case for XRP remains intact as long as it holds above former resistance, now acting as support. Maintaining this zone confirms the Triple Bottom, while a drop below it would require reevaluation.

Essentially, EGRAG’s analysis emphasizes that XRP’s chart isn’t showing exhaustion; it’s showing preparation.

Opposing View

Interestingly, while EGRAG is calling for new XRP peaks, some analysts argue that the price could crash below $1. For instance, analyst The Great Martis warns that XRP may fall further, as the market is still in a correction rather than at a bottom.

If the current support breaks, he said XRP could drop toward $0.50, which is a 73% decline from today’s price. The analyst stresses this wouldn’t be a sudden crash but a gradual, technical move within the market cycle.

The price of XRP has continued to crumble under persistent bearish pressure, and some market analysts believe the bears are only just getting started.

At press time, the price of XRP is down 5% over the past week, trading at $1.88. The coin touched $1.80 over the weekend, its lowest level so far this year. This move completely wiped out XRP’s year-to-date gains.

Key Points

• XRP’s Price Decline Continues: XRP has dropped 5% over the past week to $1.88, erasing its year-to-date gains and reaching its lowest level this year.
• Potential for Deeper Downward Movement: Technical analyst The Great Martis warns that XRP may face further downside, possibly testing the $0.50 level, if support near $2 fails.
• Significance of the $2 Support Zone: The $2 support is a critical decision point; repeated tests may weaken it, with a breakdown potentially leading to a substantial decline.
• Market Outlook and Investor Caution: Despite bearish signals, analysts advise against panic, framing the decline as part of a larger market cycle, with potential for a new bullish trend.
• Bullish Predictions and Long-term Targets: Some analysts remain optimistic, predicting XRP could reach $11 or even $70 in the coming years, contingent on historical pattern repetitions.

XRP Dip Not Over

In a tweet, a widely followed technical analyst known as The Great Martis warned that XRP may face deeper downside pressure in the coming months. He argued that the market is still moving through a corrective process rather than forming a final bottom.

In an accompanying chart, the analyst highlighted XRP’s current position around a long-standing critical support zone near the $2 level. This range has acted as a base through several months of consolidation. According to the analysis, this zone represents a structural decision point rather than a sign of strength.

The chart suggests that XRP’s previous rally has transitioned into a distribution phase, with price action flattening and momentum gradually fading. While XRP has not yet broken down decisively, the analyst notes that repeated tests of the same support often weaken it over time.

Dip to $0.50 Level in View

If this $2 support fails, the chart projects a much deeper corrective move, with downside targets extending toward the $0.50 region. This area previously served as a major demand zone before XRP’s last expansion.

For context, XRP’s price would have crashed by 73% from the current level of $1.88 if it reaches $0.50. Meanwhile, considering its peak of $3.66 in July 2025, this would represent a price loss of over 86%.

Notably, the analyst framed the projected move not as a sudden crash, but as a measured, technical continuation within a larger market cycle.

Despite the bearish outlook, the analyst cautioned against emotional reactions, emphasizing that market declines tend to unfold in stages.

“Don’t panic. It gets much worse,” the analyst wrote, adding that the current phase should be viewed as part of a broader process rather than an unexpected breakdown. “It’s a process; let it process.”

Analyst Still Calling for Major Bull Run This Year

At the time of writing, XRP continues to trade just above its highlighted support, leaving the market in a critical position.

Meanwhile, some market watchers remain bullish on XRP. CryptoBull recently said XRP’s current price structure mirrors past bull cycles, featuring an even longer consolidation phase.

Based on weekly chart patterns, CryptoBull sees $11 as the first major target—nearly a 6x move. He adds that if the full historical pattern repeats, a final wave could eventually push XRP as high as $70, though that would likely take years.

For now, XRP remains in a tight range, with analysts suggesting at least another year of accumulation before a move toward double-digit prices.

The XRP fractal leading to a two-digit value remains valid, as the altcoin has already met all five conditions necessary for the upsurge.

XRP has witnessed bearish pressure alongside the rest of the crypto market, but market data confirms it has not lost its long-term bullish standing. Specifically, a previous fractal that pointed to a potential run toward $27 remains valid despite the recent price struggles.

For context, this fractal emerged in Q4 2025, when XRP still traded comfortably above the $2 mark. The structure depended on five separate conditions, including a symmetrical triangle breakout and a 3-month EMA retest, which the altcoin had already met.

Key Points

• XRP has struggled since the $2.41 high earlier this month, down by more than 21% from this peak.
• Despite the downtrend, XRP has maintained a bullish fractal pointing to a potential run toward $27.
• This fractal depended on five separate conditions, including a symmetrical triangle breakout, a 3-month EMA retest, and a FIB extension replication.
• Market data confirms that XRP had already met all these conditions, setting the stage for the fractal formation.

XRP Maintains Bullish Fractal

This analysis came from Chart Nerd, a well-known market pundit. In his latest commentary, the analyst pointed out that despite XRP’s recent struggles below the important $2 area, the altcoin has maintained the bullish fractal toward $27. The reminder was necessary, especially considering the increasingly bearish retail sentiment.

Notably, after a turbulent Q4 2025, which led to a 35% decline for XRP, the asset attempted a rebound earlier this month, eventually reaching $2.41 and recovering all the losses from 2025. However, the resistance at this level triggered a pullback, and XRP has collapsed 21% since then.

Chart Nerd insists that XRP’s long-term bullish structure remains intact despite this pullback. His commentary came as an update to an October 2025 analysis, in which he identified the bullish fractal. At the time, he suggested that the forthcoming rally would “melt faces.”

Five Conditions for Fractal Formation 

At the time of his initial analysis, Chart Nerd identified five conditions necessary for this fractal to play out. The first was a symmetrical triangle breakout. Notably, XRP broke above its seven-year symmetrical triangle during the November 2024 upsurge, which pushed it above the $1 and $2 regions in one fell swoop.

The second condition was the retest of the 3-month exponential moving average (EMA). For context, XRP broke above this EMA in January 2025 but needed to retest it to build strength. The retest occurred in Q4 2025, when XRP dropped to a low of $1.58 in October and then recovered.

Meanwhile, the third condition required the Gaussian Channel upper regression, which Chart Nerd confirmed had been met. He then noted that, for the fourth condition, XRP needed the formation of clear “stop, entry, and target” levels. The analyst identified these levels on the chart. The fifth condition was to replicate the Fib extension targets. This has already played out.

With XRP already meeting all five conditions, Chart Nerd suggested that the Fibonacci extension levels include $8 for the first target and $13 for the second target. The ultimate target lies at the $27 mark, a target repeatedly championed by fellow analyst EGRAG Crypto. However, there is no guarantee XRP would hit these prices.
