How XRP Price Could Reach $1.80 After a Structural Retest
Popular analyst Egrag Crypto noted that his unchanged short-term tracker continues to identify $1.15–$1.20 as a major structural retest zone.
The range combines horizontal support, the structure’s lower boundary, and the tracker’s projected pullback area. He described it as a logical level for buyers to defend.
His projected route starts around $1.40 and includes a gradual move toward $1.15–$1.20. It then shows a recovery attempt before a test of the $1.63–$1.65 range for the XRP price.
The analyst also identified a breakout condition. A full weekly body close above $1.65 would change the market structure and prompt a reassessment at higher levels. In that scenario, $1.80 would become the next major upside checkpoint.
