TL;DR:
- XRP is coiling around the $2 level in a tight sideways base, with analysts viewing the pattern as a possible “final compression” before repricing.
- EGRAG’s three phase roadmap suggests accumulation is largely complete and that a defended $2 zone could eventually support targets between $7 and $15.
- Key chart levels sit between $2.00 and $2.12, while shrinking volume and fractal based warnings remind traders that scenarios are forming, not guaranteed.
XRP’s latest price action is compressing into an increasingly narrow channel around the $2 mark, as traders weigh whether the token’s long sideways base is simply consolidating or whether a tightening XRP range is laying the groundwork for a major repricing phase. The current structure now shows price holding firm while volatility contracts, inviting speculation that the market is storing energy for a decisive move rather than quietly drifting out of focus.

Compression near $2, fractal roadmaps and a fragile bullish case
Analyst EGRAG says XRP’s extended trading range resembles an early structural reset, with a broad accumulation zone that repeatedly rejects deeper breakdowns and now looks like a “final compression” before expansion. Within his three phase roadmap of accumulation, expansion and timing, EGRAG frames XRP’s base as largely accumulated and primed for an expansion leg aligned with the mid 2025 to 2026 cycle, making targets near $7, $12 or even $15 appear less speculative on higher time frames.
On the current chart, XRP trades near $2.06 on TradingView, moving inside a low volatility band that highlights how tightly the market has coiled. Price action emphasizes three areas of interest: a repeatedly defended support pocket between $2.00 and $2.04, a resistance band around $2.10 to $2.12, and steadily declining volume during consolidation. A clean break below $2 would weaken the structure, while a convincing move above $2.12 would tilt short term momentum toward EGRAG’s anticipated expansion scenario.
EGRAG also cautions that fractal based technical analysis can mislead traders if treated as a roadmap rather than a guide, stressing that cycles rhyme more than they repeat and that liquidity drivers and macro catalysts can distort timing. He warns that overreliance on fractals can harden bullish bias, hide invalidation signals and anchor traders to distant targets instead of responding to evolving price structure, especially when markets compress as tightly as XRP is doing now.
Even with those caveats, the roadmap remains intact as long as XRP continues to defend the $2 weekly zone that has repeatedly absorbed selling pressure and preserved the sideways base. Historical behavior suggests that extended periods of compression near strong support often precede sudden repricing events, and the article concludes that structure is stable, momentum neutral but constructive, and that conditions for a new phase are not yet confirmed but forming as the market approaches a transition window.
