Analyst EGRAG has suggested that XRP is approaching a fourth corrective stage that preceded bullish price expansions in two previous market cycles. In a post on X, the analyst compared XRP’s two-week chart across three periods: 2018–2020, 2021–2024, and 2025–2026. He argued that the price action appears to be repeating a historical pattern, although the current cycle has yet to confirm the anticipated reversal. XRP is trading at $1.33, up 2.45% over the past 24 hours but down 6.61% over the past month, according to CoinMarketCap data. EGRAG’s analysis identifies four corrective stages in the 2018–2020 cycle before XRP’s subsequent bullish expansion. He also highlights a similar four-stage structure between 2021 and 2024, which preceded another major price advance.
