His approach centers on the concept of a “cross and push,” which refers to the bullish cross between moving averages followed by sustained upward momentum. According to Egrag, this cross was achieved between the 21 SMA and 100 SMA in early August, creating the conditions for a potential breakout scenario.
He noted that the analysis began with identifying the descending channel on the four-hour timeframe and projecting how price action would behave along its upper edge. The idea of the “cross and push” was based on the expectation that once the moving averages aligned, XRP could retest and eventually break through the top boundary of this channel.

Ascending Triangle and Measured Move
Egrag outlined the presence of an ascending triangle structure and explained how it ties into his broader framework. He described this as part of the measured move that often follows such a formation, stressing that he had anticipated the setup before it was clearly visible.
The retest of the breakout is occurring as expected, though he explained that due to the slope of the descending channel, the level of the retest is lower than the initial breakout. He underlined that this is normal technical behavior and does not invalidate the broader bullish thesis.
In the process of building this outlook, Egrag emphasized how the 100 EMA and the upper edge of the channel were acting as important guides. These elements confirmed that the “cross and push” had indeed taken place and could serve as the foundation for the next phase of price action.

Critical Price Levels Ahead
Egrag stated that he originally looked at $3.02 as a key level to hold, but it did not maintain support. He explained that the immediate objective is to secure a close above $3.02 as the first sign of renewed strength.
From there, $3.07 becomes the next level to watch, with $3.13 identified as an important confirmation target. A move through these levels would strengthen the bullish case and validate the breakout from the channel.
At the same time, Egrag acknowledged the possibility of a bearish cross if these conditions are not met. Under that scenario, XRP could retrace toward $2.65, a downside level he highlighted. He also noted that while some market participants are looking ahead to potential rate cuts, markets often respond in unexpected ways, which could influence XRP’s short-term direction.
The central point of Egrag’s post is that the “cross and push” strategy has been successfully identified and that XRP is now at a decisive stage. Sustaining closes above $3.07 and $3.13 would confirm strength, while failure to achieve these levels could result in continued movement along the descending channel. His structured breakdown highlights both the progress already made and the conditions required for XRP to move higher.
