Ripple’s XRP, one of the top-performing cryptos last year, is trading between $2.15 and $2.30. The token’s current price is a far cry from its 52-week high of $3.38 last January 17th, which was spurred by the industry’s excitement over US President Donald Trump’s reelection.

Although XRP joins the downtrend of the broader crypto market, a few commentators and analysts expect that Ripple is due for a major rally. According to crypto analyst Egrag Crypto, Ripple’s XRP is set for another price run after it compares the asset’s current Elliot Wave structure with its 2017 fractals.

XRP Continues To Weather The Storm

Egrag Crypto’s latest price analysis and projection for XRP come as the altcoin and the broader crypto market slump. The Ripple’s coin is holding steady above the critical $2 price support, which suggests it follows the broad five-wave Elliott Wave chart. Traditionally, assets replicating the Elliott Wave structure often incur significant price action.

Based on Egrag’s assessment, XRP is currently in the second wave of the Elliot Wave structure, which is traditionally defined by high price volatility and corrections.

Traders And Investors Must Watch Out For The Larger Wave Structure

In a Twitter/X post, Egrag explained that XRP is in its corrective wave two and is primed for a price run to double digits or even over $100.

The analysts elaborated that a Wave 2 often retraces a part of Wave 1, usually matching 50%, 76% or even 85.4% of the initial movement. Ripple’s XRP, he shares, is solidifying its hold in the correction phase.

The asset faces bearish pressure, and the market can expect a double bottom soon before it moves into its Wave 3. EGRAG warns that Wave 3 is the most aggressive part of the cycle, with more volatility.

Can XRP Hit $100 Or More?

Previously, XRP’s Wave 1 pattern submitted a huge 733% increase in price. And by using the Elliot Wave extension formula, the popular analyst projects that XRP’s Wave 3 can extend by 1.618x the gain of the first wave. Using this calculation, Egrag offers a potential surge of 1,185x, translating to XRP’s price range between $22 to $24.

Once XRP hits the peak of Wave 3, the fourth wave and a price correction follows. For this wage, the retracement level ranges between 14% to 38.2% of Wave 3. If this happens, Egrag predicts that XRP’s price can drop to $8.

Wave 5 of the Elliot Wave follows, where price can be predicted using three methods. First, if XRP’s price grows between 1.236% and 1.618%, the asset’s price can hit between $32 and $48. Second, if Wave 5 replicates Wave 1, the price can be between $60 and $70. Third, if there’s a 61.8% extension of the movements of Waves 1 and 3, then there’s a chance that XRP’s price can hit $100.

Crypto analyst ElmoX has asserted that the XRP price is still bullish despite the recent crypto market crash. His analysis revealed that XRP is set to face major resistance at $2.9, although he is confident that the crypto will eventually break this resistance and rally to as high as $20. 

XRP Price Faces Resistance At $2.9 But Could Still Rally To $20

In a TradingView post, ElmoX outlined two scenarios for the XRP price as it eyes a rally to $20, although he noted that the crypto will retest the major resistance at around $2.92 either way, on its way to a new all-time high (ATH).  For the first scenario, the analyst stated that XRP would break this resistance and then skyrocket to $20.

Meanwhile, in the second scenario, ElmoX stated that the XRP price could face another rejection, sending it below the $1.5 level before it witnesses a bullish reversal and rallies to a new ATH. The analyst revealed that he is betting on this second scenario since there is usually a swift crash before an impulsive move to the upside. 

ElmoX remarked that the XRP price has barely corrected, which is also why he believes there could still be a massive crash before a rally to a new ATH. Meanwhile, the analyst didn’t provide an exact timing for the potential price correction and subsequent rally to a new ATH and the $20 price target. 

Instead, he simply told market participants to be patient. He further warned that the XRP price might sit in price discovery until at least mid-July. His accompanying chart showed that XRP will first drop to as low as $1.20 before it witnesses an impulsive move to as high as $20. 

The Altcoin Records A Bullish Close

In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades noted that although the XRP price briefly broke below the $2 trendline, the candle closed back above this trendline, reclaiming the consolidation range. She remarked that this is exactly what bulls needed to see. However, the analyst added that a confirmation is needed with XRP holding the range between $2 and $2.03 as support.

CasiTrades stated that a breakdown from consolidation usually leads to further downsides, but the XRP price managed to recover the level quickly, showing that buyers are stepping in. She also noted that the bullish divergence is still holding up to the 1-hour RSI even after the dip with selling pressure weakening, which suggests a shift in momentum is possible. 

If the XRP price holds the support between $2 and $2.03, CasiTrades predicts that the crypto could bounce and rally toward $2.25 and $2.70. On the other hand, if XRP loses this level, she stated that the next major support sits at $1.90 which is the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. Meanwhile, there is also the possibility that XRP could drop to the 0.618 Fib retracement level at $1.54. 

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.10, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Ethereum has struggled to gain momentum, remaining stuck below critical resistance for over a year. Despite multiple attempts, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has been unable to break through key technical levels since the beginning of this year.

Ethereum’s price action over the past two weeks has shown more weakness. An interesting analysis from analyst Tony “The Bull” Severino shows that the cryptocurrency recently failed to break above a resistance indicator and is now at risk of more catastrophic price drops.

Ethereum Fails To Breach Long-Term Resistance

Tony “The Bull” Severino, in a technical analysis shared on social media platform X, highlighted Ethereum’s persistent failure to overcome major resistance levels. He pointed out that Ethereum has been unable to tag the quarterly (three-month) Parabolic SAR despite more than a year of attempts. This indicator, often used to determine the direction of an asset’s trend, shows that Ethereum is locked in a prolonged struggle against resistance on a larger downtrend. 

“This feels like it sends a message — resistance won’t be broken,” the analyst said.

Adding to the failure to break resistance, Tony Severino also noted in another analysis that Ethereum has repeatedly faced rejection from the quarterly (3M) SuperTrend dynamic resistance, further solidifying the case that buyers have been unable to regain control.

A Monthly Close Below $2,100 Could Be Catastrophic

Ethereum’s inability to sustain key price levels has been a dominant theme in the past six months. Interestingly, this inability was shown further in the past two weeks. After failing to hold above $2,800, the cryptocurrency has seen a steady drop, losing multiple support zones along the way. 

Currently, Ethereum is trading below $2,200, edging dangerously close to breaking below the crucial $2,100 threshold. A drop beneath this level is particularly concerning, not just because it signifies the loss of yet another psychological support but because technical indicators suggest that a monthly close below $2,100 could have severe consequences.

One of the most significant warning signs comes from the quarterly Bollinger Bands indicator, which has tracked Ethereum’s price action since February 2022. According to this indicator, Ethereum has remained within a defined range, with the upper Bollinger Band currently positioned at $4,190 and the lower band at $2,098. The worrying part is that a monthly close below $2,100 would effectively translate to breaking beneath the lower Bollinger Band and removing a long-standing support level.
