The XRP price has been consolidating for an extended period after its previous rally. However, a crypto analyst warns that the cryptocurrency could face a flash crash in April, potentially driving its price to new lows. Despite this, the analyst anticipated that the downturn may be short-lived, predicting a rebound shortly after.
MetaShackle, a crypto analyst on TradingView, has shared a chart presenting an Elliott Wave-based analysis of XRP’s price movements. The analyst has also used technical levels such as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), liquidity zones, and trendlines to determine XRP’s next price action.
XRP Price False Breakout Ahead Of Flash Crash

The XRP price chart follows an advanced 6-wave pattern, with a potential 7th-wave breakout. XRP is currently in Wave 4 of a larger cycle. While Waves 1 to 3 represented a strong upward move, Wave 4 triggered a major correction for the XRP price. If Wave 4 is completed, the cryptocurrency’s price could push higher into Wave 5, reaching $2.80 – $3.00, where an FVG awaits. This move would create a false breakout, taking out liquidity above recent highs.
After the projected false breakout, XRP is expected to experience a flash crash in Wave 6 by April 2025. This flash crash will likely hold above the lower white trendline after breaking the upper trendline and targeting the green target area between $1.6 and $1.4 $highlighted by the chart.
The flash crash in April is a theoretical move in which the XRP price retraces sharply before a real breakout. This breakout is expected to start in Wave 7, potentially leading to a price discovery for XRP and reaching a likely target of $3.00 before skyrocketing to new highs above $3.6.
Notably, the analyst predicts that Wave 7 will begin in May 2025. The breakout is anticipated to take out previous all-time highs for the altcoin, surpassing its $3.84 price record in 2018.
Update On Price Analysis
The XRP price is now trading at $2.44 after increasing by 4.56% in the past week. Despite a sharp price crash from its $3.00 high earlier this year, the cryptocurrency remains resilient, and analysts are closely watching its next move.
