- XRP price forecasts suggest a 62% to 70% rise from $1.79.
- The bullish wick could reach $2.80 to $3.00 before month-end.
- XRP remains in a “boredom phase” after the SEC case closed.
XRP may be poised for a significant price move in April, according to crypto analyst Egrag (@egragcrypto).
Using a technical chart built on the monthly XRP/USDT timeframe, the analyst suggests that high and low price points could be tested in quick succession.
These short-term price extremes, or “wicks,” point to potential volatility within a defined range.
With XRP currently trading at $2.1465, the outlook indicates a broad swing between $1.79 and $3.00 before month-end, implying possible gains of up to 70% from the lower bound.
Range between $1.79 and $3.00
Egrag’s price forecast identifies two key zones where XRP could briefly trade in April.
On the downside, the token could test support in the $1.90 to $1.79 range.
However, that move is expected to be temporary, forming what traders call a wick — a quick dip to a certain level followed by an immediate reversal.

At the upper end, the chart indicates XRP could reach the $2.80 to $3.00 band.
Like the downside move, this would likely manifest as a wick as well.
The analyst emphasizes that both downside and upside moves should be brief, with no prolonged trading expected in these zones.
The prediction does not yet point to a sustained breakout, but it highlights price notations at $2.00, $2.05, $2.17 and $2.44.
These levels imply XRP could hover around the $2.00 mark for much of the month, forming a base for future price action.
A 70% rise from the wick low is possible
The most striking idea from Egrag is the possibility of a 62% to 70% rally from the projected wick low at $1.79.
Such a price move would place XRP near the $3.00 level, assuming key technical thresholds are crossed.
Price movement can develop rapidly depending on market momentum and sentiment, though the analyst does not expect an extended stay in the upper range during April.
If XRP revisits the $2.00 area — a region it has recently oscillated around — that could act as a final consolidation point before a stronger move.
While the chart does not predict an exact breakout date, the sequence of wicks followed by a base around $2.00 opens the possibility of a push higher.
XRP stuck in a boredom phase
These projections come at a time when XRP is trading largely sideways.
Egrag describes this period as a “boredom phase,” driven by reduced interest and mental fatigue among market participants.
This phase follows the resolution of Ripple’s legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, an outcome many expected would immediately boost XRP’s value.
Instead, the market has been cautious. Traders who anticipated a swift rally after the case closed were disappointed, as XRP failed to break out convincingly.
Current price action suggests the sideways trend could persist in the short term, making April a potentially pivotal month for traders seeking directional clues.
The chart signals an imminent price change
The latest chart analysis does not call for immediate action but outlines technical scenarios that could unfold depending on market conditions.
With XRP hovering around $2.05, a move toward either end of the projected wick range could serve as a signal for larger price activity later in the cycle.

The analysis does not factor in macroeconomic triggers or fundamental changes in Ripple’s utility or adoption; it focuses solely on chart patterns.
It also avoids speculation about long-term targets beyond April.
Egrag’s technical framework follows the theme of his previous forecasts, consistently stressing the importance of patience and mental resilience during periods of low volatility.
