XRP risks a 43% crash if key support breaks
Analyst EGRAG CRYPTO warns that XRP is testing a make-or-break support inside a widening wedge pattern. XRP has been in a downtrend since July 21, 2025, and it is still near the lower wedge boundary. If XRP fails to rebound and instead breaks down, the analyst projects a 43% decline toward about $0.28, framed as a potential final capitulation before a new bull cycle.
Conversely, a sustained hold above the lower wedge boundary would support a rebound toward the upper wedge resistance at roughly $3.50–$3.84. The $3.84 area matches XRP’s all-time high (ATH) and is treated as a major resistance trigger. A confirmed breakout above $3.84 could open a new price-discovery phase, with EGRAG CRYPTO forecasting a further 57% gain from the upper-wedge area.
At publication time, XRP is trading around $1.40, down about 6.58% over seven days, showing midterm uncertainty while traders watch for either renewed selling or a sharp rebound. Key levels to monitor for XRP are the wedge support (breakdown risk) and the ATH zone near $3.84 (bullish confirmation).
Bearish
This is categorized as bearish because the article highlights an explicit downside scenario for XRP: a breakdown of the lower boundary of a widening wedge could lead to a sharp ~43% move toward ~$0.28. That implies higher probability of stop-outs, momentum selling, and volatility expansion if support gives way. The coin is already in a prolonged downtrend since mid-2025, so the market narrative is still dominated by sellers.
In trader terms, the “make-or-break” support test resembles prior crypto setups where wedge breakdowns preceded fast liquidation/relief rallies. If traders treat the $1.40 area as a decision zone and it fails, short-term losses can accelerate before any stabilization attempt. In the longer term, the analyst frames the $0.28 area as a potential final capitulation before a new bull cycle—meaning bearish pressure could be “buyable” only after capitulation is confirmed.
On the other hand, the outlined bullish invalidation (holding wedge support and later reclaiming $3.84 ATH) sets a clear counter-signal. Until XRP either reclaims and holds resistance or proves resilience at the lower wedge boundary, the dominant risk remains a downside continuation, so the expected market impact is bearish.
