A key technical setup is unfolding on the XRP price chart, as market analyst Egrag Crypto has flagged a recurring historical chart pattern that has previously marked the cryptocurrency’s market bottom. The analysis indicates that this critical pattern, known as the 5D Bottoming Blueprint, has also previously triggered a renewed upward trend for XRP after major lows. Its reappearance is seen as a potential signal that XRP’s prolonged bear phase may be ending even as the cryptocurrency continues to face bearish headwinds and price volatility. XRP Price Repeats Historic 5D Bottoming Pattern On March 29, Egrag Crypto stated on X that XRP is closely mirroring a historic bottoming sequence from 2022. The structure, mapped across a 5-day timeframe, suggests that XRP may be in the final stages of its prolonged corrective phase. According to the analysis, the 5D Bottoming Blueprint is defined by two key phases. The first occurs when the 21 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crosses above the 200 EMA. After which, a sharp corrective pullback occurs, marking XRP’s price floor. Related Reading: If Bitcoin Should Be Worth $280,000 Right Now, What’s The Real Value Of Dogecoin And XRP? Back in mid-2022, the exact pattern emerged in the XRP chart. The 21 EMA crossed over the 200 EMA and was later accompanied by a significant price correction of approximately 14.66%. After the correction played out over roughly 4 bars on the 5-day chart, translating to 20 calendar days, XRP established its market bottom. From that low, the cryptocurrency’s bearish phase ended, and its price began a sustained upward trend to new highs. Although XRP appears to be repeating the same historic bottoming sequence in the current cycle, Egrag Crypto still questions whether the present structure would mirror the 2022 pattern’s behavior and timing exactly. The analyst noted that XRP’s 21 EMA has already crossed above the 200 EMA. The cryptocurrency has also undergone a 14% correction, matching the decline seen in 2022. At present, XRP’s bar count is aligning with the same 4-bar historic pattern, which suggests the cryptocurrency could see a potential price bottom in 20 calendar days. Egrag Crypto has marked the key decision window as April 16 on the chart. The key level to watch sits around $1.15, which is the primary bottoming target for XRP’s ongoing corrective move. Egrag Crypto has also highlighted $0.93 as another potential support level, which could serve as the next downside target if the price fails to hold above $1.15.The chart shows the possibility of a deeper correction, with XRP potentially establishing a price floor near $0.73 if it drops below $0.93. If bearish momentum continues, XRP could even decline further to the white trendline near the bottom of the chart, around $0.42.

He forecasted that the cryptocurrency could first reclaim the $1.60 level, officially marking the end of the corrective phase and the start of a renewed upward trend. Following this, the analyst expects XRP to climb back toward $2.05. A clean break above this level would serve as the confirmation signal that XRP’s broader expansion phase could be underway, opening a potential path toward $3.02 and beyond.

Hyperliquid traders located in Tokyo have a speed advantage over their counterparts in Europe and the U.S, new data shows. A Timely Matter For Hyperliquid Traders Even the fastest growing derivatives DEX in the world needs its servers to be geographically located somewhere: in Hyperliquid’s case, it’s Amazon’s data centers in Tokyo. Latency probes and validator data from Glassnode show Hyperliquid’s 24 validators are clustered in AWS Tokyo. Spread across several availability zones inside Amazon Web Services’ ap‑northeast‑1 (Tokyo) region, the system’s API traffic is fronted by AWS CloudFront, but the validators themselves are all concentrated in a single Japanese cloud region. Glassnode data showing Hyperliquid's API location in Tokyo. Source: Glassnode. Therefore, it’s not hard to understand why Tokyo‑based traders have a roughly 200 milliseconds advantage versus Europe and North America when hitting the matching engine. The raw network latency from Tokyo is only of 2–3 milliseconds. For an exchange processing more than $4 billion in daily perpetuals volume, that time gap compounds into real execution and P&L differences. Related Reading: Ethereum Could Hit $40,000 And Beat Bitcoin, Standard Chartered Says Median order‑to‑fill times are around 884 milliseconds from Tokyo versus roughly 1,079 milliseconds from Ashburn, Virginia. Most of the delay is server‑side processing, but in a time‑priority order book (the first orders to arrive get filled first at the best prices), geography still decides who gets to the front of the queue, tighter spreads, and better fill probability. Hyperliquid's latency in Ashburn, Virginia. Source: Glassnode. The traders closest to the servers can grab the best bids and asks before farther located traders can even reach the exchange. Over many trades, that tiny time edge can turn into better average prices and more profit for the fast traders, and worse prices for everyone else. The Tokyo Dilemma It is worth noting that Hyperliquid is not the only exchange concentrating its fundamental infrastructure in AWS Tokyo: this is also the case for major CEX’s such as Binance and KuCoin. BitMEX migrated its data infrastructure from AWS Dublin to Tokyo in August 2025. As a result, the exchange saw liquidity (depth, tighter spreads, order‑book size) jump by roughly 180–400 percent only one month after the move. AWS Tokyo is a long‑running, well‑invested region with multiple availability zones, high bandwidth and lots of enterprise support, so exchanges locating its servers on it benefit of scaling quickly without running their own data centers. A huge share of crypto volume now runs through Asia trading hours, and putting matching engines in Tokyo means many of their most active users get very low latency. This strategy, however, concentrates technical risk. When AWS Tokyo hiccups, as it has happened in the past, multiple “independent” exchanges feel it at once. Related Reading: The Last Time Bitcoin Sentiment Was This Bad Was 2022, But There Was A Silver Lining For traders, a cross‑venue arbitrage strategy seems to be a sensible decision. With Hyperliquid’s engine sitting in AWS Tokyo while many centralized exchanges also anchor core infra in the same region, spreads between Hyperliquid and major CEXs can open and close faster during Asia trading hours, rewarding desks that monitor and hedge across both stacks in real time.
