Analyst Warns XRP Could Drop to $1.25
Analyst Egrag Crypto, in his latest X post, predicted that XRP could hit $1.25 in the short term. He explained that XRP still shows weakness unless it can close above the $2.33–$2.45 range, which would signal a bullish breakout.
Egrag opened up about the importance of the 0.702 Fibonacci level, linking it to a major past breakout. Further, he advised his followers not to chase market gains or panic sell, but instead to keep accumulating XRP during price dips.
“This is a short-term outlook, and while I am confident we may see double digits in the upcoming months, we first need to dispel any bearish sentiments,” the analyst said.
Even analyst Dark Defender has confirmed that the $2.222 level is still a key point in XRP’s price action. He mentions that XRP’s Monthly Wave 4 (a phase in Elliott Wave analysis) is nearing its end.
