From traders debating whether XRP really bottomed at $1.40 to analysts wrestling with messy exchange anomalies, there’s a growing hunger for clarity in crypto 0 that spirit, a shift toward cleaner, more defensible data standards may be the next frontier in credible XRP 1 Problem: Distortion in Exchange-Level Price Feeds Individual exchange charts regularly diverge — especially during flash crashes , exchange-specific outages, or wash-trade spikes. A single anomalous tick on one platform can throw off trendlines, misstate support zones, or mislead stop 2 major exchanges tend to dominate volume, their quirks disproportionately sway 3 looks like a bounce or breakdown on Binance might not appear on a 4 charting tools mitigate this by using exchange-averaged prices, but retail traders frequently chart off a single feed — and thus inherit distortion 5 Crypto’s New Standard: The “Crypto Data Set” Approach To counter these inconsistencies, Egrag Crypto announced adopting a unified “Crypto Data Set” for all future XRP 6 is an averaged data series across major exchanges, intended to dilute exchange-specific noise.
Crucially, Egrag also declared that until further notice, he will omit Binance , Bitstamp, Poloniex, and Coinbase—arguing that perceived manipulative activity on those venues warps chart shape. #XRP – Chart and Data Distortion : The below post is created to find the best chart to use for a long-term view of #XRP from now 7 far, we’ve seen distortions in the data, and I want to keep things clear without too many conflicting 8 now on, I’ll only… 9 — EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) October 14, 2025 From that filtered series, Egrag now accepts $1.40 as the operative low going forward, rejecting lower prints that appeared in excluded feeds. (Egrag Crypto is credited as the source of this methodology change.) By anchoring to that $1.40 baseline in the filtered series, Egrag aims to standardize trend analysis, Fibonacci levels, and long-range support zones in a less volatile frame.
Costs, Caveats & Comparative Impact Excluding high-volume names like Binance or Coinbase is not 10 reshapes the averaged trend line: peaks and troughs may shift, volatility is often lower, and volume weighting becomes heavier on smaller 11 must understand that Egrag’s $1.40 “low” is conditional on their methodological filter—not a universal market 12 a publication ethics perspective, every chart Egrag issues must disclose its exclusion criteria and the 13 should also have access to a “full-market” counterpart so they can evaluate what’s being edited out.

Meanwhile, in broader crypto markets, aggregation methodologies are under scrutiny. A 2025 SSRN paper on “Aggregate Confusion in Crypto Market Data” lays out how poorly designed aggregation may inadvertently amplify bias or distort trend 24 to Read & Use Egrag’s Charts Going Forward First, treat the $1.40 baseline as a method-dependent anchor, not an 25 cross-reference it against full, unfiltered market charts. Second, check the metadata: which exchanges were included or excluded, for what reason, and whether volume weighting was applied. Third, consider maintaining your own parallel charts—one full and one filtered—to triangulate meaningful divergences.
Fourth, interpret trendlines, support zones, and volume patterns in light of the possibility that large venues may be masked or 26 Crypto’s shift is not a claim about XRP’s true bottom, but a methodological 27 a crypto market rife with noise, that kind of discipline is precisely what gives charts — and convictions — greater 28 : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial 29 views expressed in this article may include the author’s personal opinions and do not represent Times Tabloid’s 30 are urged to do in-depth research before making any investment 31 action taken by the reader is strictly at their own 32 Tabloid is not responsible for any financial 33 us on Twitter , Facebook , Telegram , and Google News
