- Analyst Egrag Crypto claims large accounts are spreading bearish narratives to influence retail sentiment.
- Egrag sees potential dips but rejects claims of a bear market, maintaining that the bullish cycle remains intact.
- While some echo Egrag’s concerns about manipulation, others emphasize discipline—small leverage, stop losses, and patience.
Top crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has issued a stark warning to the crypto community, claiming that large accounts are manipulating narratives to sway retail sentiment.
In a recent post, Egrag said his feed has been flooded with bearish takes, many from accounts he doesn’t even follow, and suggested this could be part of a coordinated effort by major players to profit from short positions.
“These big accounts are just using you to fuel their shorts,” he wrote, urging traders to stay cautious.
Egrag, who cites more than two decades of experience managing multi-billion-dollar assets, compared the situation to how widespread narratives can sometimes mask reality.
Drawing from past personal experience, he explained that even globally accepted beliefs can turn out to be misleading, underscoring his point that bearish calls may not reflect the true state of the market.
Market Outlook: Support and Risk Zones
Despite the flood of bearish commentary, Egrag remains optimistic about the current cycle. He rejected the idea that the market has entered a prolonged bear period, instead emphasizing his belief that the broader bullish structure remains intact.

“I see no signs that this cycle is over,” he said, adding that he continues to hold his position.
Community Reacts: Discipline and Risk Management
Egrag’s warning sparked debate within the XRP community. A user known as CrashbanQ weighed in, highlighting both technical resilience and macro risks.
“Technically, XRP is fine right now, but the geopolitical situation we’re in is concerning,” he commented. He added that black swan events could drastically alter the landscape, advising traders to maintain caution and discipline.
CrashbanQ urged those using leverage to keep positions small, no more than 1–5% of spot holdings, and to approach leverage as a tool for improving returns rather than a gamble.
He also recommended using stop losses, taking profits at resistance levels, and treating corrections as opportunities for long-term holders.
I’m not a big account and I don’t want to be, but I’ve been trading markets for a long time. Technically XRP is fine right now but the geopolitical situation we’re in is concerning. One major “black swan” event can change everything. There are narratives being pushed everywhere.…

A Divided Market Narrative
The exchange highlights a growing divide in the market narrative. On one hand, analysts like Egrag argue that institutional actors are amplifying bearish sentiment to mislead retail traders.
On the other hand, seasoned investors in the community stress discipline, risk tolerance, and patience amid rising uncertainty.
As things continue to unfold, the debate underscores a key theme: retail traders must navigate not only market volatility but also the influence of narratives shaped by powerful players.
