A crypto analyst has predicted that the XRP price could hit $27 soon. He describes the cryptocurrency’s current price action as a “ Bermuda Triangle or boredom phase” — a period where the market moves slowly or sideways, fuelling doubt and uncertainty among traders and investors before a price rally. 

XRP Price Boredom Phase To Trigger $27 Surge

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has warned that the XRP price is in a Bermuda Triangle, a boredom phase characterized by price stagnation and market uncertainty designed to shake out weak hands before a significant price move. According to his prediction, while traders and investors are growing impatient and questioning why XRP has not experienced any notable price increases, this phase is merely a set-up for a strong rally toward $27.

Following a predicted downturn in mid-March, XRP has struggled to recover its bullish momentum. The cryptocurrency was one of the top-performing altcoins in this bull cycle, jumping from a $0.5 low to over $3 for the first time in seven years.

Due to the current market decline, Egrag Crypto revealed that many traders are now wondering why “XRP hasn’t mooned.” The analyst explained that this price decline was intentional, forcing investors to second-guess themselves and make emotional trading decisions. 

He also disclosed that the XRP market is now filled with ‘What ifs’, as Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) cloud traders’ minds. Moreover, concerns over potential dips to $1.60 or $1.30 could push investors to panic-sell or attempt risky trades. 

The analyst also revealed that the XRP market is currently controlled by sharks and larger players, also called Whales. These large holders tend to influence price movements, triggering stop-losses and shaking out weak hands before a major rally. 

Egrag Crypto warns that new investors and traders are especially vulnerable, as frustration and boredom can lead to making financial mistakes. He disclosed that the best strategy to implement during this current market phase is to do nothing. He suggested investors stay disciplined and patient, recognizing that boredom phases are normal in crypto market cycles. 

The analyst also urged investors to remain vigilant and hold their positions while accumulating at ideal prices rather than react impulsively to rapid changes in the market. 

XRP Breakout Point Hints At New ATH

In other analyses, market expert ‘Steph Is Crypto’ has announced that XRP is currently retesting breakout levels to trigger a surge to a fresh ATH. The analyst’s price chart shows a Falling Wedge pattern which has been broken above the resistance at the upper trend line.

After breaking out, XRP now retests this level to confirm a larger upward move. The large green arrow on the chart points to the cryptocurrency’s projected price target, suggesting a bullish continuation if the Falling Wedge breakout holds. 

XRP’s upside potential is predicted to be $4 or higher if its bullish momentum is maintained. As of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2.4, reflecting a 3.5% decline in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. If its price rises to $4, it would represent a significant 66.7% increase from current levels.

Analysts believe that Shiba Inu’s milestone suggests continued interest in the meme coin, fueling the token’s significant growth. It also showed a bullish outlook on the meme coin.

Market observers said that the milestone might signify the unwavering belief of its community in the token.

10 Million Blocks For Shibarium

Meanwhile, Shiba Inu’s Ethereum Layer 2 network, Shibarium also recorded a win after surpassing 10 million blocks with an estimated 10,010,974 blocks as of press time.

Crypto analysts said that this achievement is proof of the network’s longevity and reliability, adding that it could entice more new users.

Market observers noted that the network has experienced exponential growth in total addresses in the last few weeks as it now tallies almost 175 million.

Shibarium’s growth is crucial in burning SHIB tokens and a major price control mechanism. Many investors are optimistic that diminishing supply and solid demand might send the token to surge. Shibarium played an essential role in burning around 713 million SHIB.

Unmoved By The Crypto Downturn

Many analysts say that milestones achieved by Shiba Inu and Shibarium offer a great deal of hope to investors, considering the ongoing downtrend in the cryptocurrency market.

For instance, Shiba Inu tanked by about 68% in the last four months, dipping from a high of $0.00003343 in December 2024 to a low of $0.00001082 in March 2025.

On the other hand, some analysts raised their concern about Shiba Inu underperforming the competition, noting that the token only increased by 98% following the US presidential election, while the Dogecoin skyrocketed by 200%.

Crypto strategist Michaël van de Poppe says Bitcoin (BTC) may take off on a series of rallies if it can break through a key resistance level in the coming days.

The analyst tells his 782,000 followers on the social media platform X that Bitcoin needs to flip $84,500 into support this week in order to regain bullish momentum.

However, he warns if Bitcoin fails to break through $84,500, the flagship crypto asset may collapse in price.

“I really want to see some momentum on Bitcoin. If it doesn’t happen this week and we’ll break sub $82,000, likely we’ll see some new lows. Break $84,500 equals party time.”

Looking at his chart, the analyst says if Bitcoin fails to reclaim $84,500 as support this week, there are two likely outcomes.

“Two scenarios, as Bitcoin faces crucial resistance here:

• Reject and find a higher low [around $82,000].
• Reject and double-bottom retest [in the $70,000 range] before moving higher.”

Bitcoin is trading for $87,315 at time of writing, up 5.7% in the last 24 hours.

Next up, the analyst says that the decentralized oracle network Chainlink may be printing a double-bottom pattern against Bitcoin (LINK/BTC) on the weekly chart.

A double-bottom pattern is typically considered a bullish reversal pattern as buyers step in to create a price floor for an asset.

“LINK doing a double bottom test and back to the range low. Weekly firing up nicely. Things are heating up the right way.”

Based on the trader’s chart, he seems to predict that LINK/BTC will soar to as high as 0.000795 BTC worth $68.39.

LINK/BTC is trading for 0.0001719 BTC ($14.92) at time of writing, up nearly 2% in the last 24 hours.
