- XRP price forecast suggests a 62–70% rise from $1.79.
- Price wicks could reach $2.80–$3.00 before the end of the month.
- XRP remains in a “boredom phase” after the SEC case closure.
XRP may be on the verge of a significant price movement in April, according to crypto analyst Egrag (@egragcrypto).
Using a technical chart built on the monthly XRP/USDT timeframe, the analyst suggests both high and low price points could be tested sequentially.
These short-term extremes, or “wicks,” indicate potential volatility within a defined range.
With XRP trading around $2.1465 at the time of the analysis, the outlook implies swings between roughly $1.79 and $3.00 before month-end—pointing to possible gains of up to 70% from the lower bound.
Range set between $1.79 and $3.00
Egrag’s price projection identifies two primary zones where XRP might trade briefly during April.
On the downside, the token could test support in the $1.90–$1.79 area.
That move is expected to be temporary—forming what the analyst calls a wick, where price dips to a level and quickly reverses.

On the upside, the chart shows XRP could rise into the $2.80–$3.00 band.
Like the downside move, this advance is also likely to appear as a wick.
The analyst emphasizes both the downward and upward moves are expected to be brief, with no sustained trading within those zones.
The forecast does not call for a persistent breakout but highlights price notes at $2.00, $2.05, $2.17 and $2.44.
These levels suggest XRP could hover around $2.00 for much of the month, forming a base for future price action.
Up to 70% rebound possible from the low wick
Egrag’s most notable insight is the potential for a 62–70% rally measured from the projected lower wick low of $1.79.
Such a move would place XRP near the $3.00 area, assuming key technical thresholds are breached.
The price swing could unfold quickly depending on momentum and market sentiment, though the analyst does not expect sustained trading in the upper range throughout April.
If XRP revisits the $2.00 zone—a region that saw recent swings—it could act as a final consolidation point before a stronger move.
While the charting does not predict an exact breakout date, a sequence of wicks followed by consolidation near $2.00 establishes the groundwork for a potential surge.
XRP stuck in a boredom phase
The forecast arrives as XRP largely trades 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 dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, an outcome many expected would immediately increase XRP’s price.
Instead, the market has remained cautious. Traders who anticipated a fast post-case rally have been disappointed that XRP has not convincingly broken out.
Current price action suggests this sideways trend may persist in the short term, making April a potentially pivotal month for traders seeking directional clues.
Charts signal an imminent shift in price
Recent chart analysis does not prescribe immediate trades but outlines technical scenarios that could play out depending on market conditions.
With XRP hovering near $2.05, moves toward either end of the projected wick range could serve as signals for more meaningful price activity later in the cycle.

The analysis focuses on chart patterns and does not account for macroeconomic catalysts or changes to Ripple’s fundamentals, utility, or adoption.
It also refrains from speculating on longer-term targets beyond April.
Egrag’s technical framework continues a theme from earlier forecasts, consistently stressing the importance of patience and mental resilience during periods of low volatility.
