Egrag Crypto, a top pseudonymous crypto analyst, recently forecasted that XRP would reclaim the much-coveted $1 threshold, following two W patterns formed by the asset in its price movements.
Road To $1
The W pattern is a commonly observed technical analysis pattern that may indicate a possible trend reversal in the price of an asset. The W pattern is a potentially bullish signal, suggesting that the underlying asset has established a level of support and could be poised to reverse its previous downtrend.
Egrag highlighted several W patterns to drive home his point. In a follow-up analysis of his previous price forecast from April 1, he pointed out that XRP’s price movements from as far back as May 2022 have successfully formed two distinct W patterns, which he labeled patterns A and B.Â
He mentioned that forming the A and B patterns is a precursor to forming a bigger W pattern that would result in an XRP surge to $0.85 if it plays out. According to Egrag’s chart, should this W pattern materialize, it would lead to a recovery of $0.85 this month on the non-log scale.
In addition, he noted that an enduring run would lead to an XRP surge to the coveted $1 price target on the logarithmic scale. Data from his charts implies that this could occur in April. The last time XRP was worth $1 was in December 2021.
XRP’s Current Price Movement
The long wick on XRP’s $0.51 April 1st candlestick shows that the bears are aggressively defending the key barrier of $0.56. The token formed an inside-day candlestick pattern on April 2, indicating uncertainty among the bulls and the bears.Â
If the price slips below $0.52, XRP may retest the breakout level of $0.49. This is an important level to watch because a break below it could extend the correction to the 20-day EMA.
Alternatively, the price could continue to climb from here and finally break out of the $0.56 to $0.59 support range. Assuming that scenario plays out, the asset’s value could increase to $0.65 or even $0.80. At press time, XRP is worth $0.514.
