Egrag Crypto Says XRP is Positioning for Macro Expansion. Here’s What to Watch

XRP continues to trade inside a tightening structure as crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) points to a possible expansion phase forming on higher time horizons.

In a recent post on X, the analyst said, “This isn’t Forex trading. This is positioning for a macro expansion,” while highlighting both a daily symmetrical triangle and a smaller 4-hour ascending broadening wedge on the latest XRP charts.

The setup places XRP near a critical decision zone after several weeks of compression between rising support and descending resistance. EGRAG CRYPTO’s chart shows XRP trading around $1.41 while testing the apex of the larger triangle. The analyst identified $1.47 to $1.5 as the key breakout region that could open the door for a stronger upward continuation.

#XRP – Small Moves:

What You Are Missing.

I Can probably hit a 95% accuracy rate on low time frame. But that game is time-consuming when you already understand where #XRP is ultimately heading.

XRP Tests Major Resistance Zone

The daily chart shows XRP holding a long-term ascending support trendline that began forming after the sharp February decline. At the same time, the asset’s price continues to press against a descending resistance line that has capped recent rallies.

That structure has created a large symmetrical triangle. The analyst noted that a breakout from the pattern could send XRP toward a “full measured move” target near $2.3. The chart also marks a major resistance region between $1.8 and $1.9 before any move toward the higher target develops.

Price action near the triangle apex has become increasingly compressed. That often precedes a sharp directional move as buyers and sellers battle near converging trendlines. XRP recently pushed into the upper boundary before pulling back slightly toward support around $1.40.

4-Hour Structure Signals Expansion Attempt

EGRAG CRYPTO also highlighted an ascending broadening wedge on XRP’s 4-hour chart. The structure shows higher highs and higher lows as volatility expands near the triangle apex. EGRAG CRYPTO said the “MICRO structure is flashing caution” while still focusing on the larger bullish setup on higher time horizons.

The chart identifies $1.37 as key support near the lower rising trendline. Resistance remains near $1.47 at the upper boundary. A breakout above that level could strengthen the larger triangle structure and position XRP to challenge the next resistance zone as its price compression nears resolution.

XRP’s Positioning Remains the Focus

EGRAG CRYPTO also stressed that short-term market swings do not change his wider outlook on XRP. The analysis centers on positioning ahead of a potential macro expansion rather than chasing lower time fluctuations. XRP now sits at a technically important area where both the daily triangle and the smaller wedge structure approach resolution.
