Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has released an updated analysis of XRP using a long-term fractal model, arguing that despite recent volatility, the structure still aligns with current price action.
In his latest commentary, Egrag emphasized that fractals are “biased by design” and should never be judged by shape alone, but rather by a combination of structure, time, and support-and-resistance behavior. According to the analyst, the current XRP fractal is aggressive but deliberate, and remains consistent with a late-cycle market position rather than a completed top.
The accompanying chart maps XRP’s price action inside a broad, rising macro channel stretching back several years. Two intersecting channel structures form the basis of the so-called “X pattern,” showing how prior cycles respected similar trend boundaries before major expansions.
Notably, XRP’s recent pullbacks are shown occurring above or near the lower edge of the rising channel, suggesting that long-term structural support has not yet broken.
The chart also highlights previous downside zones labeled “Previous Val Hell” and “Current Cycle Val Hell,” both of which acted as accumulation regions before strong upside moves.
Egrag outlined several reasons why the fractal remains valid despite its aggressive nature. First, XRP continues to trade within the long-term rising channel, a key requirement for the pattern to remain intact. Second, pullbacks have respected channel support rather than breaking below it, reinforcing structural integrity.

The chart also marks projected expansion areas labeled “Valhalla,” which Egrag links to liquidity cycle expansion phases. These zones align with previous periods where XRP transitioned from consolidation into accelerated price discovery.
In addition, the time projection on the chart suggests an extended cycle rather than a strict four-year rhythm, allowing room for further upside later in the cycle.
Beyond technicals, Egrag points to broader macro considerations that could influence timing. He notes upcoming monetary and political cycles, including a potential Federal Reserve leadership change and the historical tendency for stimulus-driven liquidity ahead of U.S. mid-term elections.
In his view, these factors could support risk-on behavior in markets if structural conditions remain intact.
While the fractal remains aligned, Egrag cautions that a double-dip scenario is still possible. The chart reflects this risk with a rounded corrective structure before any sustained breakout, implying that XRP could retest lower channel support once more before attempting a larger move higher.

A failure scenario is also clearly defined: a decisive break below the rising channel would invalidate the fractal thesis and shift the outlook toward a more prolonged corrective phase.
Egrag assigns a measured probability to the setup rather than presenting it as a certainty. He estimates directional correctness at 55–60%, timing accuracy at 80–85%, and near-perfect symmetry at around 70%. The probability of failure through a structural breakdown is placed between 15–20%, underscoring the importance of maintaining channel support.
Egrag Crypto stresses that the fractal represents a potential roadmap, not a guaranteed outcome. As long as XRP holds its long-term structure and continues to respect the rising channel, higher expansion zones remain possible. However, confirmation will come only through price behavior over time.
For now, XRP appears to be at a critical juncture where structure, timing, and macro conditions intersect, a phase that could determine whether the asset transitions into a new expansion leg or revisits deeper consolidation before its next major move.
