Crypto Market Bounce Lifts Ethereum While XRP Stays Under $2

  • XRP fell under $2 after a volatile session, keeping traders focused on support.
  • Analysts cite fractal and Wyckoff structures, but stress charts do not predict outcomes.
  • Resistance at $2.50 to $3.00 caps upside unless XRP reclaims $2 with follow-through.

Crypto markets are showing signs of recovery as total market capitalization rises to $2.93 trillion, up 0.84% in the last 24 hours. The majority of altcoins are trying to bounce back after a prolonged period of bearish price activity. Ethereum has gained over 3% in 24 hours, reaching $2,924, while XRP is up 0.6% at $1.84. 

XRP traded below the crucial $2 level on Thursday after a volatile session that saw prices briefly rise above $1.89 before falling to around $1.77. The token ended the day lower, showing the mixed sentiment across the broader crypto market.

Despite the pullback, several analysts said the structure of XRP’s recent price action still leaves room for a potential recovery.

Fractal Read on XRP Highlights Structure, Not Certainty

XRP has struggled to hold momentum since losing the $2 level, which many experts view as an important psychological threshold. Intraday moves remained sharp, with buyers stepping in near support while selling pressure capped upside attempts.

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto said a historical fractal pattern could still be relevant, though he stressed that fractals are not predictive tools.

He estimated a 45% to 55% probability that the current structure develops in a meaningful way.

According to Egrag, the pattern has some validity due to a long accumulation phase, compressed volatility, and a price structure that broadly resembles past XRP cycles. He also brought to attention prior acceptance above a reclaimed level near $3.20 as a constructive signal.

However, he warned that similar chart shapes do not guarantee similar outcomes, particularly in a market now driven by derivatives activity, macro conditions, and ETF-related flows.

Resistance Band at $2.50 to $3.00 Stays the Upside Test

The analyst also flagged heavy resistance in the $2.50 to $3.00 range, which could limit upside even if XRP rebounds. 

Egrag said the most likely outcome is that the general direction proves correct, but with reduced magnitude or delayed timing. He described the fractal as a roadmap rather than a promise, adding that price action should remain the primary guide.

Wyckoff Setup And What It Means?

Another analyst observed XRP’s earlier move near $2.30, predicting a possible “spring” phase directed at filling an October wick during reaccumulation.

If the Wyckoff schematic continues to play out, the analyst said a broader bullish setup could begin to form.

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Following the MCP and A2A protocols, the AI Agent market has seen another blockbuster arrival: the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), developed by Google. This will clearly further enhance AI Agents' autonomous multi-tasking capabilities, but the unfortunate reality is that it has little to do with web3AI. Let's take a closer look: What problem does AP2 solve? Simply put, the MCP protocol is like a universal hook, enabling AI agents to connect to various external tools and data sources; A2A is a team collaboration communication protocol that allows multiple AI agents to cooperate with each other to complete complex tasks; AP2 completes the last piece of the puzzle - payment capability. In other words, MCP opens up connectivity, A2A promotes collaboration efficiency, and AP2 achieves value exchange. The arrival of AP2 truly injects "soul" into the autonomous collaboration and task execution of Multi-Agents. Imagine AI Agents connecting Qunar, Meituan, and Didi to complete the booking of flights, hotels, and car rentals, but then getting stuck at the point of "self-payment." What's the point of all that multitasking? So, remember this: AP2 is an extension of MCP+A2A, solving the last mile problem of AI Agent automated execution. What are the technical highlights of AP2? The core innovation of AP2 is the Mandates mechanism, which is divided into real-time authorization mode and delegated authorization mode. Real-time authorization is easy to understand. The AI Agent finds the product and shows it to you. The operation can only be performed after the user signs. Delegated authorization requires the user to set rules in advance, such as only buying the iPhone 17 when the price drops to 5,000. The AI Agent monitors the trigger conditions and executes automatically. The implementation logic is cryptographically signed using Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Users can set complex commission conditions, including price ranges, time limits, and payment method priorities, forming a tamper-proof digital contract. Once signed, the AI Agent executes according to the conditions, with VCs ensuring auditability and security at every step. Of particular note is the "A2A x402" extension, a technical component developed by Google specifically for crypto payments, developed in collaboration with Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation. This extension enables AI Agents to seamlessly process stablecoins, ETH, and other blockchain assets, supporting native payment scenarios within the Web3 ecosystem. What kind of imagination space can AP2 bring? After analyzing the technical principles, do you think that's it? Yes, in fact, the AP2 is boring when it is disassembled alone. Its real charm lies in connecting and opening up the "MCP+A2A+AP2" technology stack, completely opening up the complete link of AI Agent's autonomous analysis+execution+payment. From now on, AI Agents can open up many application scenarios. For example, AI Agents for stock investment and financial management can help us monitor the market 24/7 and conduct independent transactions. Enterprise procurement AI Agents can automatically replenish and renew without human intervention. AP2's complementary payment capabilities will further expand the penetration of the Agent-to-Agent economy into more scenarios. Google obviously understands that after the technical framework is established, the ecological implementation must be relied upon, so it has brought in more than 60 partners to develop it, almost covering the entire payment and business ecosystem. Interestingly, it also involves major Crypto players such as Ethereum, Coinbase, MetaMask, and Sui. Combined with the current trend of currency and stock integration, the imagination space has been doubled. Is web3 AI really dead? Not entirely. Google's AP2 looks complete, but it only achieves technical compatibility with Crypto payments. It can only be regarded as an extension of the traditional authorization framework and belongs to the category of automated execution. There is a "paradigm" difference between it and the autonomous asset management pursued by pure Crypto native solutions. The Crypto-native solutions under exploration are taking the "decentralized custody + on-chain verification" route, including AI Agent autonomous asset management, AI Agent autonomous transactions (DeFAI), AI Agent digital identity and on-chain reputation system (ERC-8004...), AI Agent on-chain governance DAO framework, AI Agent NPC and digital avatars, and many other interesting and fun directions. Ultimately, once users get used to AI Agent payments in traditional fields, their acceptance of AI Agents autonomously owning digital assets will also increase. And for those scenarios that AP2 cannot reach, such as anonymous transactions, censorship-resistant payments, and decentralized asset management, there will always be a time for crypto-native solutions to show their strength? The two are more likely to be complementary rather than competitive, but to be honest, the key technological advancements behind AI Agents currently all come from web2AI, and web3AI still needs to keep up the good work!
