Higher CPI print for March already ‘baked in’ to BTC price — Analysts

XRP&#8217;s prolonged decline has seen its price down more than 60% from its 2025 
peak, placing it inside what can be viewed as an extended corrective phase. As 
expected, this has led to questions among crypto investors as to whether XRP 
can still go on a rally this year that would see it push to new all-time highs 
and possibly above $4. One analyst has now laid out a scenario suggesting XRP 
could soon complete its correction and begin another upward wave that may 
eventually push the price to new highs. XRP May Be Nearing The End Of A Long 
Corrective Phase The prevailing discussion around XRP&#8217;s decline in the past 
few months has largely centered on the cryptocurrency topping out at its 
summer 2025 all-time high of $3.65. According to one analyst posting on X, 
that reading may be fundamentally incorrect. Related Reading: Expert Trader 
Shows ‘Simple Math’ To Calculate The Bitcoin Price Bottom Based on this 
analysis, the impulsive wave for XRP completed as far back as January 2025, 
when XRP reached a peak above $3.30. This was several months before the all- 
time high was printed. The subwaves originating from July 2024 fit best as an 
impulsive structure that concluded in January 2025, with the price action that 
followed, including the ATH, forming a corrective pattern. The last major 
corrective stretch on the weekly chart lasted 61 weeks from top to bottom and 
erased about 85% of XRP’s value before the next meaningful recovery began. 
Applying that same time window to the January 2025 high would place the 
current correction close to completion around mid-March 2026. XRP Price Chart. 
Source: @protechtor On X As shown in the chart above, XRP’s earlier correction 
after 2021 unfolded inside a descending channel and lasted 61 bars, or 427 
days, before finding a low. The price decline during that phase reached about 
85.34%. The current structure on the right side of the chart is looking like 
that earlier breakdown in both shape and duration. This time, the decline has 
so far reached about 71.52%, with the same 61-week duration highlighted as a 
key timing marker. A descending trendline cuts through the current price 
structure and converges at $1.05. According to the analyst, that level could 
serve as the final downside target if XRP has not already bottomed. Can XRP 
Still Reach $4 In 2026? A move to $4 in 2026 would require XRP to do far more 
than just bounce from support, but the scenario is not unrealistic if the 
current correction is approaching its end. A rally from the analyst’s 
suggested downside at $1.05 to $4 would represent a gain of about 281%. Even 
from the price zone shown on the chart, around $1.38, XRP would still need to 
climb 200% to reclaim and break beyond the upper boundary of the current 
corrective structure. Related Reading: Bitcoin Liquidation Map Predicts The 
Next Targets To Watch Out For A confirmed monthly bottom followed by a strong 
push above the horizontal resistance area at $1.80 would likely be the first 
signal. From there, the upper trendline of the current structure and the prior 
highs around the $3.4 to $3.6 range would become the next price targets. This 
is where the $4 discussion will become more realistic. Featured image created
