XRP Breaks Through $4,500 Barrier – Analyst Warns of Potential Market Test

Analyst Egrag Crypto has issued a warning that XRP’s recent surge may indicate a temporary price test before a potential market downturn. His analysis suggests this isn’t a sudden crash but rather a time-based challenge for investor patience, with chart patterns and fundamental factors supporting the current trend. 2025 saw Ripple and the SEC settle their legal dispute, leading to increased institutional demand and regulatory clarity in XRP. The recent calm period may be a strategic phase designed to identify the weaker participants before a significant market shift.
