'Tick-tock...' This is the rhythm that analyst EGRAG Crypto has repeatedly called out in the community, resembling a countdown and a prompt button pressed by bulls. The market is tense, like a string pulled tight. At this moment, XRP is hovering at the end of the descending wedge, and once the direction is determined, it will signify the end of months of consolidation.
One, XRP's wedge structure has been in operation for several months
Looking back over the past few months, XRP has consistently been in a distinct descending wedge structure. Readers with some understanding of technical analysis know that this is a bullish pattern, indicating that although prices are continuously declining, the downward extent is narrowing, indicating a gradual decline in market selling pressure, hinting at a potential strong rebound.
From November 2024 to January 2025, XRP experienced an astonishing surge from $0.5 to $3.4, with a nearly 600% increase. However, it then fell into a slow decline and has been oscillating within the wedge ever since. The technical pattern is tightening, and it has now reached a critical decision point at the end of the chart.
Multiple attempts to break through the upper edge of the wedge have ended in failure, particularly a brief breakout to $2.65 in mid-May, but due to insufficient volume and weak buying follow-up, it ultimately fell back into the wedge.
Mlion.ai's AI strategy diagram feature is particularly sensitive to such structures, capable of identifying potential bullish and bearish breakout directions before key price thresholds, especially suitable for the current trend of 'tightening before the structural end explodes.'
Two, XRP's time window is rapidly approaching
EGRAG's 'tick-tock' is a reminder that the time window is about to close. At the structural end, the price compression space keeps getting smaller, and once the balance is broken, it often leads to a violent market explosion. For XRP at this moment, breaking through $2.28 would officially break the wedge structure.
After the breakout, if the price retests and confirms (for example, testing $2.28 again without breaking), then it may welcome a rapid upward pace similar to earlier. This is also the classic pattern of 'breakout + confirmation' that many experienced traders closely monitor.
But EGRAG is not blindly optimistic. He pointed out that if the key lower support of $1.47 is broken, it could have a significant destructive impact on the market. Especially against the backdrop of gradually warming market sentiment, panic selling triggered by false breakouts cannot be ignored.
Three, liquidity testing may become a catalyst
The chart shows that XRP may again test the liquidity support level in the $1.9-2.0 range in the short term. This action is not a bad thing; rather, it may create space for the upcoming surge.
Why? This is a typical 'liquidity sweep followed by explosion' strategy. Major funds often make small adjustments to clear floating chips before the market rally, clearing short-term resistance, and then concentrate their forces to initiate an upward breakout.
In this game, Mlion.ai's on-chain address analysis function can capture movements and fund distributions of whale addresses, further confirming whether the chart signals have execution value. If the 'main force increasing position + key support' signals overlap, it becomes an excellent entry opportunity.
Four, dual intersection of technical and emotional aspects
Currently, XRP is in a delicate state of 'technical structure limit + policy expectation fermentation':
MACD is tending to turn positive, and a short-term golden cross is about to form;
RSI is in the 55-60 range, not yet overbought, leaving room for upward movement;
Market attention is focused on the approval process for spot ETFs and the final outcome of Ripple's case against the SEC.
Mlion.ai combines real-time news analysis with price prediction models to point out that before major positive news lands, the market often reacts in advance, major positions have quietly been laid out, while retail investors are still watching. This 'cognitive gap' is the core of profit.
Five, the target price still has imaginative space; is long-term value underestimated?
Although EGRAG did not specify the potential target price for this breakout, he previously predicted that if XRP completes the 'market value W shape' structure, the total valuation could challenge $1.5 trillion, corresponding to a price above $25.
With the current XRP price at $2.24 and a total market value of $131.7 billion, reaching this level implies nearly 12 times the space. Although the target is distant, for medium to long-term holders, this structural opportunity has potential appeal.
Summary: The calm before the storm, or the buildup before the explosion?
XRP now stands at a critical crossroads. Upward leads to a return to a bullish dominant pattern; downward may retest lower levels to accumulate strength again.
During the structural end phase, it is actually the time when patience and discipline are most needed. With the help of Mlion.ai's AI research report and price prediction module, users can track structural breakout signals and on-chain anomalies in real-time, providing scientific support for short-term trading and mid-term positioning.
Currently, XRP may be nurturing a future turning point. Whether you catch this 'tick-tock' rhythm will determine if you can outperform in the next cycle.
