XRP’s price action has taken a step back over the past week, with momentum slowing down amid broader market consolidation. After starting the previous week around $2.75, XRP has struggled with a pullback as sellers controlled most of the just-concluded trading week.

Interestingly, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has outlined opti mistic scenario where the XRP price could enter a bullish trajectory that sets up short-term targets of $4–$6 and long-term projections as high as $60. Critical Resistance Around $3 Holding Back XRP’s Rally At the time of Egrag Crypto’s analysis, XRP was trading at $2.67 on a brief extension of its losses from $2.75. As the analyst noted, XRP has been facing heavy resistance around the $2.75 to $3.00 range. This zone has historical significance, as it marks a psychological threshold from the altcoin’s previous all-time highs levels around $3.40. As such, Egrag Crypto noted that a monthly close above $3.00 would translate into a strong bullish momentum, while a rejection could cascade into a pullback towards support levels. Should XRP manage to clear $3.00, the next major resistance levels align with Fibonacci extensions at $4.30 and $6.40. What this essentially means is that a strong monthly close above $3 will give XRP the free reign tp push above its current all-time high and it most likely will not meet a strong resistance level until it reaches $4.30 or $6.40. Beyond the short-term resistance at $3.00, Egrag’s analysis suggests that XRP is forming a Parabolic ARC pattern with three distinct phases. These three phases each have their own price targets of $33, $50, and $60 depending on the path it follows. These paths are highlighted in the XRP price chart below. The breakout sequence follows a structured roadmap in the event of a breakout above the Fib 1.618 extension level at $6.40. If surpassed, this could open XRP to a long-term price rally to $8, $13, $27, and even $67 based on Fibonacci extension levels. Rejection At $3 Could Derail XRP’s Price Breakout Despite the promising setup, there are still risks of a rejection at $3. A failure to reclaim $3 could force XRP into an extended period of sideways movement or, worse, a retracement toward $1.90–$2.00. If market sentiment weakens further and XRP breaks below $1.90, it could indicate a shift toward a deeper correction, with $1.00, or even as the next downside risk level. This extreme case is currently unlikely, though, except there’s something that the analyst calls a ‘Black Swan’ across the entire crypto market.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.57. Featured image from Haberler, chart from TradingView
