The year has certainly not been the most beneficial to the digital asset market. Yet, amid the downturn for a host of tokens, one analyst believes that optimism could be rewarded. Indeed, EGRAG has predicted that if Ripple (XRP) could fall to $0.40, that could lead to a price recovery to $2.
XRP has experienced a volatile start to 2024 thus far. Moreover, the recent hack into the company’s co-founder Chris Larsen didn’t do the token’s value any favors. Still, there is the expectation that the token could be facing a stark turnaround. The only questions are how low must it first get, and how high the reversal takes the asset.

In a recently published analysis, EGRAG noted that his previously reported 5-wave prediction could lead to a rather high short-term target for XRP. Specifically, he stated that forecast adjustments would lead to a short-term target of between $2.20 and $2.80.
This projection has arrived as the asset is still trying to recover from dropping below the $0.49 level yesterday. Currently, the asset is trading at $0.506 and is down more than 1% over the last 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap. Still, there is anticipation that the $0.50 level could either continue the fall for XRP or finally bring about a price correction upward.
