XRP has struggled to gain momentum, with its price caught in a downtrend since the beginning of March. Although XRP has managed to push upin the past five days after reaching a low of $1.93 on March 11, it has yet to fully recoup its lossesin the first week of the month.  Related Reading 200 Million XRP On The Move—Is Ripple Preparing For A Big Play? 1 day ago

The altcoin’s long-term prospects are still on bullish speculation, but its short-term price action has frustrated traders looking for signs of a breakout. Amid this stagnation, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has outlined specific price levels that could determine whether XRP finally reverses its course. Analyst Identifies $2.65 As Key Level Before XRP Can Challenge $3.00

Egrag Crypto, a long-time bullish advocate for XRP, recently took to social media platform X to outline key price levelsthat could determine the cryptocurrency’s next significant move. He identified $2.65 as the first critical threshold the coin must reclaim to sustain meaningful bullish momentum. However, the analyst expressed concern over XRP’s repeated tests of lower boundaries, which is in reference to the recent bottom at $1.93.

According to the analyst, the frequent retests of this support level are a double-edged sword. While multiple touches on resistance can eventually trigger a breakout, repeated tests of support weaken its integrity, increasing the likelihood of a breakdown. He likened this pattern to knocking on a door that would eventually open or break. He highlighted six instances of XRP retesting this zonesince December 2024 on a 12-hour candlestick chart, warning that prolonged weakness could pave the way for further downside.

For the crypto to escape this cycle and shift into bullish territory, Egrag emphasized the importance of a strong close above $3.00, not just a brief move past it. This level has served as the upper resistance trendline for the past two weeks and has been a barrier to any sustained uptrend. Failure to break and hold above $3.00 could cause continued correction in the short term and keep XRP trapped in its current range. XRPUSD is currently trading at $2.35. Chart: TradingView

However, the analyst believes XRP’s chances of reaching $3.00, considering the current price action, are slim without securing a close above $2.65.

  What’s Next For XRP After $3?

March has been particularly bearish for XRP, with sellers maintaining control as it failed to reclaim lost ground. However, if XRP bulls manage to close above $3 before the end of the month, it will open up the door for the resumption of a price rally. With this in mind, Egrag set an initial target of $4.80, placing XRP at new all-time highs. Related Reading XRP $15 Breakout? Not A Far-Fetched Idea—Analysis 13 hours ago

Interestingly, this target is modest compared to the analyst’s more ambitious long-term projections. Egrag has previously predictedthat XRP could surge to $110 in the long term. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.37 and is still 26.5% away from reaching $3.
