Is XRP About To Shock The Market? Analyst Says $110 Is Possible

Source Newsbtc

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.
