XRP could face two very different price outcomes depending on how its current consolidation develops, according to crypto analyst Egrag Crypto.
While a move toward $1 remains possible if support fails, the analyst’s larger technical projection points toward $17.60 if XRP breaks above a critical resistance level.
Egrag Crypto presented both scenarios in a recent X post, stressing that preparing for a downside move does not invalidate a long-term bullish outlook.

$1 OR $17? WHY CAN'T BOTH BE PART OF THE SAME BIGGER PICTURE? 👀
As an AQUARIUS ♒, I believe in seeing the BIG PICTURE while connecting the dots others might overlook!

Egrag Crypto Identifies $1 and $17 as Possible Outcomes
Egrag Crypto examined XRP’s three-day chart and compared its current structure with a previous price formation. According to the analysis, the earlier structure produced a breakout followed by a 375% expansion.
The analyst sees similarities between that historical setup and XRP’s current consolidation. The chart marks $3.68 as the key level that XRP needs to break before the larger $17.60 projection becomes relevant.
Egrag Crypto described the $17 target as a macro projection rather than a guaranteed outcome. The analysis instead calls for confirmation through price action before that scenario gains greater technical relevance.
$2.10 Becomes the Next Major Upside Level
Egrag Crypto’s tactical outlook focuses first on XRP’s shorter-term price movements. A breakout from the current consolidation could push XRP toward $2.10, according to the chart.
The analyst also warned that losing the current consolidation structure could send XRP toward $1.13 and potentially $1.00. That scenario remains part of the analysis even with the much higher long-term projection.
This approach enables Egrag Crypto to maintain a bullish long-term outlook while acknowledging that XRP could experience another decline before making a larger move higher.
$3.68 Holds the Key to the $17 Projection
For the $17 thesis to gain technical confirmation, Egrag Crypto expects XRP to break above $3.68. The chart places the projected target at approximately $17.60, based on the historical price expansion highlighted in the analysis.
Egrag Crypto described this outlook as “strategically bullish” while remaining “tactically flexible.” The analyst said the ability to anticipate $17 while preparing for $1 does not represent a contradiction.
Egrag Crypto also listed seven qualities associated with the Aquarius mindset, including visionary, analytical, independent, intuitive, unconventional, adaptable, and future-oriented. Egrag Crypto used those characteristics to explain the approach behind the XRP analysis.
The central message remains that XRP’s next major move depends on chart confirmation. A break above $3.68 could strengthen the case for the $17.60 projection, while a loss of current support could bring $1.13 or $1 into focus.
