Rippleās cross-border token stole the show yesterday, surging by double-digits to a multi-week peak of over $1.65. This prompted many analysts to speculate about another rally from the asset, perhaps to and beyond $2.00.
However, the following several hours showed that this was another fakeout as XRP tumbled to under $1.50, thus erasing almost all weekend gains.
According to a couple of prominent crypto analysts, the assetās instant surge to $1.65 and its inability to close higher the weekly candle meant that it has printed a gravestone doji.
This is a technical term that suggests the formation of a bearish reversal candlestick pattern, indicating that the bullish momentum has faded. Itās often succeeded by a more profound price decline.
Ali Martinez, one of the analysts who spoke about the meaning of the gravestone doji, noted that the last time XRP had charted it, its price tumbled by 46% in just a few weeks. If something similar is to transpire now, XRP could lose the coveted $1.00 support and head toward $0.80.

CryptoWZRDās opinion was slightly different. They also acknowledged the gravestone doji close on the weekly chart, but added that āmost of this move was a pullback from the earlier spike in a low-liquidity environment, which is healthy.ā
ERGAG CRYPTO, a well-known XRP bull, retweeted a November 15, 2025, post, in which they asked why people are ignoring the fourth wave. They believe the asset is currently in this wave, which can āabsolutely be irregular or expanded corrective.ā
The analystās chart shows XRPās price going to somewhere around $1.30 during the corrective fourth wave, before a potential reversal to new all-time highs.

: WHY?
Honest and sincere questionā¦
Why are so many TA analysts rejecting this wave count, especially Wave 4?
