Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto recently voiced skepticism toward Cointelegraph’s coverage of XRP, suggesting that the media outlet’s bullish reports often coincide with sharp declines in the token’s price.
His remarks came shortly after Cointelegraph published a post describing XRP as “flashing strong bullish signals,” citing a $1 billion accumulation by Evernorth and record exchange outflows as reasons for possible upward momentum toward $3 in November.
Egrag stated that he had hesitated to make his concerns public but decided to do so after noticing what he believes to be a recurring pattern between Cointelegraph’s optimistic headlines and XRP’s subsequent price movements.
He implied that if XRP were to experience another drop following the recent coverage, it could indicate that Cointelegraph might be operating with insider knowledge.
Although he did not present evidence to support this claim, he encouraged other users to compile data comparing the outlet’s XRP posts to the asset’s short-term market reactions.
#XRP – I was hesitating to write this small post:
But these MF's @Cointelegraph every time they post some Bullish about #XRP it drops drastically.
I am making it Publicly if #XRP drops, then these Mf's have inside info.

Community Reactions and Ongoing Speculation
Following Egrag’s post, several users on X discussed the recurring pattern of XRP’s price behavior following major media attention.
One user, identified as Captain Trademan, offered a perspective rooted in traditional market psychology, noting that assets often rise on rumors but experience sell-offs once news becomes public. He further commented that XRP holders should remember their original investment goals, suggesting that temporary price drops should not concern long-term investors.
Egrag, known for his consistent XRP chart analyses, indicated that he would acknowledge and reward any user who successfully maps Cointelegraph’s XRP-related posts against the token’s market data.

He mentioned a reward of 100 XRP for whoever completes the task in a “nice and neat job.” His comments underscored growing frustration within parts of the XRP community regarding how media narratives might influence short-term volatility.
Evaluating the Cointelegraph Post
The Cointelegraph post that prompted Egrag’s reaction emphasized strong on-chain indicators for XRP, particularly Evernorth’s large-scale accumulation and a surge in exchange outflows.
These metrics typically signal bullish sentiment, suggesting that investors are moving tokens from exchanges for long-term holding. However, some traders remain cautious, arguing that such headlines can precede profit-taking or be used to attract attention during pivotal price movements.
As XRP continues to navigate between technical optimism and market skepticism, Egrag’s post reflects a broader debate over the role of media influence in cryptocurrency trading.
