Crypto analyst StephIsCrypto recently delivered an extensive analysis of XRP’s market position, highlighting both immediate risks and long-term structural signals. The analyst explained that XRP remains in an uptrend, but a critical level must hold to maintain its momentum. According to the analysis, the $2.70 range serves as a decisive support zone. As long as XRP does not record a weekly close below this threshold, the outlook remains focused on the upside. A break beneath this level, however, could weaken the market structure and trigger a deeper retracement. StephIsCrypto also examined liquidation data, noting that many long positions had been opened recently, increasing the possibility of a short-term long squeeze. Under such conditions, XRP could briefly drop toward the $2 range before resuming upward movement. The analyst stressed that while minor wicks below $2.70 may not be concerning, consistent weekly closes under that mark would signal deteriorating strength. #Xrp .. most will lose everything… pic.twitter.com/Z771UIYwGE — STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) September 24, 2025 Elliott Wave Structure and Price Projections On the weekly chart, the analyst identified an Elliott wave pattern that suggests XRP may not have completed its impulsive sequence. Despite already having five visible waves, the projection allows for one more push higher, potentially reaching the $4 to $5 range. This movement, if confirmed, could finalize the structure of the cycle before broader weakness sets in. At the same time, StephIsCrypto cautioned that the market is showing bearish divergences on higher time frames, such as the weekly and monthly charts. These divergences reflect slowing momentum as price makes higher highs, while indicators like the RSI form lower highs. The analyst compared this setup to conditions seen in 2021, where similar divergences preceded a major downturn that saw XRP decline by roughly 80%. End-of-Cycle Signals and Historical Comparisons The analysis suggested that XRP may be entering the final stages of the current cycle. While near-term price increases are still possible, including the move toward $4 to $5, a longer and more significant correction could follow. StephIsCrypto drew parallels with the 2017 cycle, noting that XRP previously experienced multiple impulsive moves followed by extended periods of sideways trading before its final rally. The current market appears to reflect the same pattern, with a long consolidation phase preceding what could be the last upward move of the cycle.

During the 2020–2021 bull market, XRP’s price made higher highs while the index consistently registered lower highs. That divergence eventually signaled the beginning of the subsequent bear market, during which XRP lost more than 70% of its value. StephIsCrypto pointed out that this same pattern is emerging again, with sentiment failing to confirm price strength since December. This misalignment between price action and sentiment could serve as another warning of an impending broader correction. StephIsCrypto’s analysis of XRP highlights both opportunities and risks at this stage of the market cycle. While the structure continues to support potential gains toward the $4 to $5 range, critical support at $2.70 remains essential for sustaining the uptrend.
