XRP has entered what analyst EGRAG Crypto describes as a “face melting phase,” a period he says will test conviction before any meaningful upside expansion. In his latest outlook, even a continuation along a projected downside path could function as a generational accumulation opportunity rather than a structural failure, with the core premise that meaningful gains require enduring discomfort first.
EGRAG has previously characterized XRP’s current price action as a macro reset within a broader long-term expansion. In an earlier commentary, he argued the bullish structure and wave count remain intact, pointing to $0.85 as a “wave two capitulation zone.” Under his framework, wave three is typically where the strongest advance occurs.
He initially outlines expansion targets of $11 to $13, followed by $23 to $27 as a high-probability range. As a tail-risk outcome, he cites $100 if liquidity conditions shift toward risk assets.
EGRAG also frames 2026 as a volatility-driven year intended to shake out weak hands rather than invalidate the broader structure.
Despite EGRAG’s longer-term framing, short-term price action remains fragile, according to data cited from CoinMarketCap. XRP recently fell 9.1%, dropping from $1.42 to $1.30 after a high-volume breakdown below $1.36 support. During the capitulation phase, selling activity surged by more than 170% above average.
A brief rebound toward $1.33 was quickly rejected, reinforcing a pattern of lower highs. In this context, $1.36 to $1.37 is now described as resistance, while $1.30 is treated as immediate support.
The article notes that a decisive loss of $1.30 could expose $1.20 to $1.22.
At press time, XRP trades at $1.37, down 2.14% over the past 24 hours, moving in line with Bitcoin’s direction.
The piece also points to growing institutional integration, citing PNC Bank’s partnership with Coinbase to expand digital asset access to millions of users. This development is presented as supporting evidence for broader adoption, reinforcing XRP’s positioning in global payments and liquidity infrastructure.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
