A market analyst has revealed that the $XRP inverted chart points to an imminent crash, but things take a bullish turn when you flip the chart upside down.
This commentary came from EGRAG Crypto, a well-known market watcher, amid $XRP’s latest rebound effort, which has seen the crypto asset recover the $2 psychological mark. Specifically, $XRP has gained nearly 30% over the past six days of 2026, now changing hands at $2.37.
However, EGRAG believes $XRP still has more room for further growth. Interestingly, in his latest analysis, he employed an unusual approach by looking at $XRP’s 1-month chart from an inverted point of view. According to him, this inverted chart suggests that $XRP could be heading for a price crash.
Nonetheless, when viewed correctly by turning it upside down, EGRAG pointed out that the chart indicates something more “powerful.”
The $XRP Inverted Chart
For context, data from the inverted chart shows that whenever $XRP breaks a crucial “support” level, what follows is a massive crash. This trend, which played out in 2017, led to EGRAG’s suggestion of an imminent crash.
However, when he flips the chart upside-down, the real story emerges. Specifically, the analyst’s suggestion of a break below support actually entails a break above resistance. In truth, the pattern indicates that whenever $XRP breaks above a stubborn resistance mark, the next move is a powerful upsurge.
For instance, in Q4 2014, the $XRP price engineered an impressive rally from November of that year, but met resistance at the stubborn roadblock around $0.028 by December 2014. This capped the upside momentum and led to a retracement that pushed $XRP to a low of $0.00414 by November 2015.
However, after $XRP retested the $0.028 resistance in 2017, it broke above it in April 2017, and this gave way to an explosive run, which met another resistance at $0.25 from Q2 to Q4 2017.
When $XRP breached this second resistance in December 2017, its price soared to the $3.31 peak in January 2018. Data from EGRAG’s chart indicates that the $3.31 peak represented an over 7,000% increase from the first roadblock at $0.028. Meanwhile, it marked a 1,200% rise from the second resistance at $0.25.
$XRP Price Targets After $2 Breach
Most recently, $XRP faced another stubborn resistance at the $2 price mark. Notably, this $2 level acted as an important point of interest throughout 2025, with $XRP occasionally pushing above it and also dropping below it. In Q4 2025, $XRP decisively collapsed below $2. However, the tables have turned in 2026, and EGRAG believes another explosive surge could emerge.
According to his chart, $XRP has two possible targets beyond this $2 region. Specifically, the first target sits at $27, which represents a 1,200% increase from $2. Meanwhile, the second target stands at a massive $150 price, which would replicate the 7,000% rise in 2017.
Notably, EGRAG suggested that the base case rally from this resistance would push $XRP to a range of $24 to $30. He believes this scenario has a 60-65% probability of playing out in the next 6 to 18 months. Meanwhile, the extension target ranges from $80 to $150, which has a 20-25% probability of playing out.
