XRP eyes $6.80, $16.17, $31.64 targets in new cycle, EGRAG CRYPTO says
EGRAG CRYPTO, a technical analyst widely followed in the digital asset community, has published a detailed monthly chart analysis of XRP, outlining a repeating macro structure that has emerged across three market cycles spanning from 2014 to today.
Recurrent cycles and the Atlas Line
According to EGRAG CRYPTO, the historical chart—analyzed using a logarithmic scale to display XRP’s full price history—identifies three clear market cycles, each characterized by distinct descending trendlines. The first trendline covered the period from 2018 to 2020, the second defined price action from 2021 to 2023, and the current descending line is being tested right now in the latest cycle.
Beneath these cycles, EGRAG CRYPTO highlights the Atlas Line, a long-term ascending support line that has persistently underpinned XRP’s price since 2014. The price has repeatedly gravitated back to this level, treating it as a reliable area of support.
Mini dictionary: Atlas Line, in technical analysis, refers to a long-term upward-sloping trendline that acts as dynamic support, often signaling major inflection points in price cycles when tested on high time frames.
Looking at the monthly chart, EGRAG CRYPTO notes that in previous cycles, XRP had difficulty reclaiming the 21 EMA before making a significant upward move. In the current cycle, XRP has once again reached this critical indicator.
The significance of the 21 EMA
In each identified cycle, XRP spent an extended period consolidating below the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). During the first cycle, this phase lasted 30 bars or 912 days. The second cycle’s consolidation spanned 23 bars, equivalent to 699 days, while the current pattern is ongoing, currently at 17 bars or approximately 518 days.
Each consolidation period has shortened compared to its predecessor. The completion of past cycles was marked by XRP decisively reclaiming the 21 EMA—a moment described by EGRAG CRYPTO as the main inflection point. At present, XRP is positioned similarly, hovering around $1.25 and battling to establish support above this level.
| First (2018–2020) | 30 | 912 | 21 EMA |
| Second (2021–2023) | 23 | 699 | 21 EMA |
| Third (Current) | 17 | 518 | 21 EMA (approx. $1.25) |
EGRAG CRYPTO points out that XRP is once again testing the 21 EMA after a prolonged phase of consolidation, a scenario that preceded major rallies in previous cycles.
Fibonacci targets for the new cycle
EGRAG CRYPTO’s analysis identifies three main Fibonacci extension price targets for the present cycle: $6.80, $16.17, and $31.64. These correspond to key levels derived from 1.618, 1.888, and a larger 1.618 Fibonacci extension, suggesting substantial potential upside if the pattern repeats.
While EGRAG CRYPTO does not commit to a specific timeline, he emphasized the possibility that the next move “could be shockingly fast” once confirmation appears.
Current market positioning and trader strategies
EGRAG CRYPTO encourages spot traders to view the existing range as an opportunity for accumulation. For leveraged traders, he recommends diligent risk management and margin preservation to avoid potential liquidations.
He has communicated that he is currently holding cash and waiting for additional confirmation before entering a new leveraged long position.

Cyclical repetition and structural resilience
With two macro cycles completed and the third still unfolding, XRP’s historical structure has shown consistent patterns of consolidation and breakout at the 21 EMA, supported by the enduring Atlas Line. EGRAG CRYPTO’s analysis highlights the repetitive nature of these cycles and their potential implications for upcoming price action.
